چکیده

To base the kilogram definition on the atomic mass of the Si atom, the present relative uncertainty of the Si lattice parameter must lowered to 3 × 10. To achieve this goal, a new experimental apparatus capable of a centimetre measurement-baseline has been made at the INRIM. The comparison between the determinations of the lattice parameter of crystals MO*4 of INRIM and WASO 4.2a of PTB is intended to verify the measurement capabilities and to assess the limits of this experiment.

Optical lattice clocks towards the redefinition of the second

Nowadays atomic optical lattice clocks can perform frequency measurements with a fractional uncertainty at the 10 level in few hours of measurement, outperforming the best caesium (Cs) standards operated in the world. Since the definition of the unit of time is based on Cs, a worldwide debate about the need to promote the redefinition of the second on a optical reference is under-way. At INRIM ...

Comparison of the NIST and PTB Air-Kerma Standards for Low-Energy X-Rays

A comparison has been made of the air-kerma standards for low-energy x rays at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). The comparison involved a series of measurements at the PTB and the NIST using the air-kerma standards and two NIST reference-class transfer ionization chamber standards. Results are presented for the refere...

an Optimum Resource Allocation Model for Airport Passenger Terminals (RESEARCH NOTE)

According to the current Airport planning and design practices, for a given demand level there is a corresponding space requirement. While in practice, there are always trade-offs between cost and levels of service, labor and automation, equipment and fixed facilities, and expansion of existing facilities and the addition of new ones. In this research, the airport passenger Terminal Building (P...

Comparison of the Josephson Voltage Standards of the PTB and the BIPM

A comparison of the Josephson array voltage standards of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) and the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Braunschweig, Germany, was carried out in October 2014 at the level of 10 V. For this exercise, options A and B of the BIPM.EM-K10.b comparison protocol were applied. Option B required the BIPM to provide a reference voltage for measu...
