Technical Proposal for the Atom Interferometer CERN Experiment (AICE) Facility
Gianluigi Arduini, Nadja Augst, Mark G. Bason +79
We present the technical proposal for the Atom Interferometer CERN Experiment (AICE), a m vertical atom interferometer to be installed against the wall of the PX…
Particle Physics and Gravitational Waves as complementary windows on the Universe
Steven D. Bass, Laura Baudis, Gianfranco Bertone +16
Particle physics and gravitational waves provide complementary probes of the deep structure of the Universe. Gravitational waves from the mergers of neutron stars and black holes a…
A High-Flux Source of Cold Strontium with a Loading Rate of atoms/s for Open Release
Thomas Walker, Anna L. Marchant, Elliot Bentine +17
We present a high-flux source of cold strontium atoms based on a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (2D MOT) and a Zeeman slower. We use the source to load a 3D MOT in a separate…
Letter of Intent: AICE -- 100m Atom Interferometer Experiment at CERN
Charles Baynham, Andrea Bertoldi, Diego Blas +31
We propose an O(100)m Atom Interferometer (AI) experiment -- AICE -- to be installed against a wall of the PX46 access shaft to the LHC. This experiment would probe unexplored rang…
Prospects for detecting new dark physics with the next generation of atomic clocks
Benjamin Elder, Giorgio Mentasti, Elizabeth Pasatembou +6
Wide classes of new fundamental physics theories cause apparent variations in particle mass ratios in space and time. In theories that violate the weak equivalence principle (EP),…
Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry
Antun Balaz, Diego Blas, Oliver Buchmueller +50
Long-baseline atom interferometry is a promising technique for probing various aspects of fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology, including searches for ultralight dark ma…
