Quantum Physics Exploring Gravity in the Outer Solar System: The Sagas Project
P. Wolf, Ch. J. Bordé, A. Clairon +52
We summarise the scientific and technological aspects of the SAGAS (Search for Anomalous Gravitation using Atomic Sensors) project, submitted to ESA in June 2007 in response to the…
A comparison between matter wave and light wave interferometers for the detection of gravitational waves
Pacôme Delva, Marie-Christine Angonin, Philippe Tourrenc
We calculate and compare the response of light wave interferometers and matter wave interferometers to gravitational waves. We find that metric matter wave interferometers will not…
Tidal gravitational effects in a satellite
Philippe Tourrenc, Marie-Christine Angonin-Willaime, Xavier Ovido
Atomic wave interferometers are tied to a telescope pointing towards a faraway star in a nearly free falling satellite. Such a device is sensitive to the acceleration and the rotat…
The "Forgotten" Process : the emission stimulated by matter waves
Philippe Tourrenc, Marie-Christine Angonin, Peter Wolf
In a famous paper where he introduces the A and B coefficients, Einstein considered that atomic decays of excited atoms can be stimulated by light waves. Here we consider that atom…
Increase of the Number of Detectable Gravitational Waves Signals due to Gravitational Lensing
M. Arnaud-Varvella, M. -C. Angonin, Ph. Tourrenc
This article deals with the gravitational lensing (GL) of gravitational waves (GW). We compute the increase in the number of detected GW events due to GL. First, we check that geom…
Gravitational perturbations on local experiments in a satellite : The dragging of inertial frame in the HYPER project
M-C. Angonin-Willaime, X. Ovido, Ph. Tourrenc
We consider a nearly free falling Earth satellite where atomic wave interferometers are tied to a telescope pointing towards a faraway star. They measure the acceleration and the r…
