Technologies for the ELGAR large scale atom interferometer array

B. Canuel, S. Abend, P. Amaro-Seoane +56

We proposed the European Laboratory for Gravitation and Atom-interferometric Research (ELGAR), an array of atom gradiometers aimed at studying space-time and gravitation with the p…

ELGAR -- a European Laboratory for Gravitation and Atom-interferometric Research

B. Canuel, S. Abend, P. Amaro-Seoane +55

Gravitational Waves (GWs) were observed for the first time in 2015, one century after Einstein predicted their existence. There is now growing interest to extend the detection band…

Velocity selected production of metastable positronium

C. Amsler, M. Antonello, A. Belov +52

Positronium in the metastable state exhibits a low electrical polarizability and a long lifetime (1140 ns) making it a promising candidate for interferometry experiments wit…

Producing long-lived Ps via laser excitation in magnetic and electric fields

S. Aghion, C. Amsler, M. Antonello +62

Producing positronium (Ps) in the metastable state is of interest for various applications in fundamental physics. We report here about an experiment in which Ps atom…

Quantum test of the equivalence principle for atoms in superpositions of internal energy eigenstates

G. Rosi, G. D'Amico, L. Cacciapuoti +5

The Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP) has a central role in the understanding of gravity and space-time. In its weak form, or Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP), it directly impli…

Measurement of the Gravity-Field Curvature by Atom Interferometry

G. Rosi, L. Cacciapuoti, F. Sorrentino +3

We present the first direct measurement of the gravity-field curvature based on three conjugated atom interferometers. Three atomic clouds launched in the vertical direction are si…
