Interrogation oscillator noise rejection in the comparison of atomic fountains
Abstract
The frequency stability of an atomic fountain clock can be limited by the phase noise of the interrogation oscillator via the "Dick effect." In this paper we demonstrate the rejection of the phase fluctuations of the interrogation oscillator by the synchronization of atomic fountains. A reduction by a factor of 16 in the Allan standard deviation of the relative frequency difference between two fountains has been obtained.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
