Recent Time and Frequency Activities at Ptb

چکیده
Recent activities in the field of time and frequency metrology pursued at PTB are reviewed. Quasi-continuous operation of the cesium fountain frequency standard CSF1 enabled us to assess the performance of the older primary clocks CS1 and CS2 much better than previously possible. On average, the CSF1 and CS2 frequencies deviated by less than 5 parts in 10 during more than 2 years, which is well within the 1σ uncertainty uB of CS2, 12 parts in 10. In cooperation with BIPM and timing institutes in the US and Europe, several calibration exercises have been conducted that resulted in an improved calibration of PTB’s time comparison equipment.

An Update on Ptb’s Activities in Time and Frequency
Recent activities in the field of time and frequency pursued at PTB were directed towards an improvement in quality and reliability of services offered by PTB. The infrastructure for realizing the time scale UTC (PTB) and the monitoring of PTB’s time services was modernized. Several calibration exercises were conducted which resulted in an improved knowledge of internal delays of PTB’s time com...

متن کامل918-t Annual Precise Time and Time Interval (PTTI) Meeting COMPARISON OF ATOMIC FREQUENCY STANDARDS AT NIST AND PTB USING CARRIER- PHASE GPS
We have constructed a link between Physikalisch-Techniche Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Braunschweig, Germany and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado using carrier-phase Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. The link will provide a direct measurement of the frequency difference between UTC(PTB) and UTC(NIST), and can also be used to provide a direct comp...
متن کاملMaternal Periodontal Disease as a Potential Risk Factor for Preterm Birth and Low Birth Weight
Background and Aim: Periodontal disease may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes such as low birth weight (LBW) or preterm birth (PTB). In the present study, mothers with one of these two delivery complications were analyzed regarding presence/absence of periodontal disease as a possible risk factor in comparison with related medical risk factors. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectiona...
متن کاملCalcium Optical Frequency Standardresearch at Ptb
At PTB we have developed an optical frequency standard based on laser cooled calcium atoms. A laser is frequencystabilized to the intercombination transition at a wavelength of 657 nm by means of time-domain atom interferences. The dependence of its frequency on various parameters was investigated by using different excitation schemes corresponding to phase sensitive and frequency sensitive ato...
