An underground Sagnac gyroscope with sub-prad/s rotation rate sensitivity: toward General Relativity tests on Earth
Angela D. V. Di Virgilio, Filippo Bosi, Umberto Giacomelli +11
Measuring in a single location on Earth its angular rotation rate with respect to the celestial frame, with a sensitivity enabling access to the tiny Lense-Thirring effect is an ex…

Analysis of ring laser gyroscopes including laser dynamics
Angela D. V. Di Virgilio, Nicolò Beverini, Giorgio Carelli +3
Inertial sensors stimulate very large interest, not only for their application but also for fundamental physics tests. Ring laser gyros, which measure angular rotation rate, are ce…

Manipulation of ultracold atomic mixtures using microwave techniques
D. Ciampini, E. Courtade, C. Sias +5
We used microwave radiation to evaporatively cool a mixture of of 133Cs and 87Rb atoms in a magnetic trap. A mixture composed of an equal number (around 10^4) of Rb and Cs atoms in…
