2 Outline AI differential gravity measurements in space An example on ground: the MAGIA experiment
3 Atom interferometry sensors (I) Virtual sensitivity improvement of several orders of magnitude over optical interferometers. However, such advantage is currently reduced by small particle flux (10 10 for alkali, for H) small separation of matter-wave paths (few photon recoils). Nevertheless, AI sensors already compete with optical counterparts. Already achieved: inertial sensing (acceleration, gravity gradient, rotations) measurement of fundamental constants (G,!). In progress/proposed: tests of GR (EP, Lense-Thirring, limits on PPN parameters); test of Newton s 1/r 2 law at short length scale; atom neutrality; GW detection. Moreover, large progress are foreseen in the next future (LMT beam splitters, high flux atomic sources, sub-shot noise detection schemes, etc.)
4 Atom interferometry sensors (II) AI inertial sensors feature very good long term stability and control over systematic effects Differential configurations allow for very large CMRR of vibrations Based on quantum atom-light interaction, which can be precisely modeled The possible choice of different internal/external quantum states, as well as of different isotopic species, provides knobs to isolate, model and minimize several possible noise sources
5 AI measurements in space = kgt 2 Terrestrial AIs achieve differential gravity accuracy approaching ~10-11 g with T~0.1 s In space ~10-15 g or better is foreseen with T>>1s Main issues to address for AI experiments in space: TRL (lot of work in progress) Motivation for space (on ground, large T requires long free-fall distance) Understanding noise and error sources (test bench experiments on ground)

23 Interim progress Corresponding to a statistical uncertainty of 400 ppm on G F. Sorrentino et al., New J. Phys. 12, (2010)
24 Sensitivity to experimental parameters
25 Short-term sensitivity Current sensitivity to differential acceleration: 5x10-9 1s
26 Long term sensitivity Active intensity control of cooling and probe laser beams; tilt stabilization of Raman retro-reflecting mirror Coriolis compensation with tip-tilt mirror Allan variance on gravity gradient measurement ~ s, corresponding to 5x10-11 g (5x improvement from 2011)

29 G measurement reproducibility "# = ( ± 0.08) mrad corresponding to 150 ppm on G
30 MAGIA error budget
31 Atomic trajectories (I) Vertical coordinates of clouds know within 0.1 mm from TOF + double diffraction Transverse density distribution measured by 2D scanning of a thin portion of Raman laser beams (barycenter and width measured within 0.1 mm) T = 0 ms T = 62.5 ms T = 125 ms
32 Atomic trajectories (II) Transverse velocities are found in the range of a few mm/s These are due to small tilt (~1 mrad) of the atomic fountain Corresponding AI phase shift due to Coriolis acceleration ~40 mrad, i. e g For a Coriolis shift below 10-4 on G, launching direction should change less than 2 µrad on average when moving the sources masses
33 Coriolis compensation (I) Tip-tilt mirror steering the retro-reflected Raman beam to compensate for the Earth rotation Already shown to improve contrast in AI with LMT beam splitters In MAGIA, contrast drop due to Coriolis is minimal, but still detectable thanks to the large SNR S.-Y. Lan et al., PRL 108, (2012)
34 Coriolis compensation (II) Besides ellipse contrast, Coriolis acceleration affects AI noise as well because of dispersion of atomic transverse velocities Earth rotation 10%: rather easy via contrast 1%: requires a decent compass (tip-tilt absolute orientation within 1 ) and careful calibration of PZT 0.1%: quite challenging: need very good absolute orientation and rotation rate 0.01%: crazy
35 Coriolis compensation (III) If we reduce the frame rotation by a factor 10 with a tip-tilt Raman retro-reflecting mirror, we still need to control the C/F launching direction changes to better than 20 µrad Double stage compensation: ellipse phase shift vs. rotation rate is proportional to the transverse atomic velocity difference In MAGIA we measure transverse velocity components with a precision of a few tens of µm/s When comparing for the two configurations of source masses, we determine C/F transverse velocity changes to be lower than 6 µm/s Sensitivity to transverse velocity differences scales with T 2 : in Q-WEP or STE-QUEST it can easily get down to ~10nm/s "# = ( /- 0.2) mrad (comp.)$ $ $ "# = ( /- 0.2) mrad (non comp) difference < 0.28 mrad => "v E-O < 6 µm/s
36 g measurement with two clouds Using a dual-cloud Raman interferometer for g measurements Simultaneous interferometers allow g measurements in the presence of larger phase noise because of twice larger range for phase retrieval
37 g measurement with two clouds Using a dual-cloud Raman interferometer for g measurements Simultaneous interferometers allow g measurements in the presence of larger phase noise because of twice larger range for phase retrieval suppressed conversion of amplitude noise into phase noise at the edges of the fringe F. Sorrentino et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 101, (2012) Somewhat similar to using a mechanical accelerometer to correct the phase shift from seismic noise, see J. Le Gouët et al., Appl.
