Accuracy evaluation of NIST-F1
نویسندگان
چکیده
The evaluation procedure of a new laser-cooled caesium fountain primary frequency standard developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is described. The new standard, NIST-F1, is described in some detail and typical operational parameters are discussed. Systematic frequency biases for which corrections are made – second-order Zeeman shift, black-body radiation shift, gravitational red shift and spin-exchange shift – are discussed in detail. Numerous other frequency shifts are evaluated, but are so small in this type of standard that corrections are not made for their effects. We also discuss comparisons of this standard both with local frequency standards and with standards at other national laboratories.

NIST-F1: recent improvements and accuracy evaluations∗
In the last several years we have made many improvements to NIST-F1 (a laser-cooled Cs fountain primary frequency standard at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado) resulting in a reduction by over a factor of 2 in the uncertainty of the realization of the SI second. The two most recent accuracy evaluations of NIST-F1 had combined standard fractional unc...
متن کاملFirst accuracy evaluation of NIST-F2
We report the first accuracy evaluation of NIST-F2, a second-generation laser-cooled caesium fountain primary standard developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with a cryogenic (liquid nitrogen) microwave cavity and flight region. The 80 K atom interrogation environment reduces the uncertainty due to the blackbody radiation shift by more than a factor of 50. Also, ...
متن کاملRECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN NIST-F1 AND RESULTING ACCURACIES OF δf/f<7× 10 †
Since our last publication describing the accuracy budget for NIST-F1 (a laser-cooled Cs fountain primary frequency standard) we have made many improvements resulting in nearly a factor of 2 reduction in the uncertainty in the realization of the SI second. Recently we reported a combined standard fractional uncertainty of 0.67×10.
متن کاملThe Significance of Recall in Automatic Metrics for MT Evaluation
Recent research has shown that a balanced harmonic mean (F1 measure) of unigram precision and recall outperforms the widely used BLEU and NIST metrics for Machine Translation evaluation in terms of correlation with human judgments of translation quality. We show that significantly better correlations can be achieved by placing more weight on recall than on precision. While this may seem unexpec...

sponsored by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). The Legal Track served as a truncated replication of a document review of almost one million documents. Backstop software, assisted by attorney document review of less than one-tenth of one percent of the overall document set, classified the documents and achieved a combined accuracy rate (" F1 score ") of approximately 80%.
