Interlaboratory consensus building challenge
Giovanni Mana
The manuscript is about an interlaboratory comparison which involved eleven metrology institutes. It comprises four tasks: i) deriving a consensus value from these results; ii) eva…
Model uncertainty and reference value of the Planck constant
Giovanni Mana
Statistical parametric models are proposed to explain the values of the Planck constant obtained by comparing electrical and mechanical powers and by counting atoms in Si 28 enrich…
A more accurate measurement of the Si lattice parameter
Enrico Massa, Carlo Paolo Sasso, Giovanni Mana +1
In 2011, a discrepancy between the values of the Planck constant measured by counting Si atoms and by comparing mechanical and electrical powers prompted a review, among others, of…
The detection of signals buried in noise
Luigi Bergamaschi, Giancarlo D'Agostino, Laura Giordani +2
This paper examines signal detection in the presence of noise, with a particular emphasis to the nuclear activation analysis. The problem is to decide what between the signal-plus-…
Does the measured value of the Planck constant depend on the energy of measurements?
Enrico Massa, Giovanni Mana, Michael Jentschel
The measurement of the Avogadro constant opened the way to a comparison of the watt-balance measurements of the Planck constant with the values calculated from the quotients of the…
On the average of inconsistent data
Giovanni Mana, Maria Mirabela Predescu
When data do not conform to the hypothesis of a known sampling-variance, the fitting of a constant to the set of measured values is a long debated problem. Given the data, the fitt…
