  2. Caesium standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium_standard

    The first caesium clock was built by Louis Essen in 1955 at the National Physical Laboratory in the UK [1] and promoted worldwide by Gernot M. R. Winkler of the United States Naval Observatory. Caesium atomic clocks are one of the most accurate time and frequency standards, and serve as the primary standard for the definition of the second in ...

    Caesium standards are therefore regarded as primary time and frequency standards. Caesium clocks include the NIST-F1 clock, developed in 1999, and the NIST-F2 clock, developed in 2013. [67] [68] Caesium has several properties that make it a good choice for an atomic clock.

    NIST physicists Steve Jefferts (foreground) and Tom Heavner with the NIST-F2 cesium fountain atomic clock, a civilian time standard for the United States. NIST-F2 is a caesium fountain atomic clock that, along with NIST-F1, serves as the United States' primary time and frequency standard. [1] NIST-F2 was brought online on 3 April 2014. [1] [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIST-F1

    NIST-F1 is a cesium fountain clock, a type of atomic clock, in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado, and serves as the United States' primary time and frequency standard. The clock took fewer than four years to test and build, and was developed by Steve Jefferts and Dawn Meekhof of the Time and ...

  7. Atomic fountain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_fountain

    The idea of the atomic fountain was first proposed in the 1950s by Jerrold Zacharias. [6] [7] Zacharias attempted to implement an atomic fountain using a thermal beam of atoms, under the assumption that the atoms at the low-velocity end of the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution would be of sufficiently low energy to execute a reasonably sized parabolic trajectory.
