Abstract:
Atom Interferometry has exciting potential for use in gravity surveys which has many applications, for example in civil engineering. When doing field surveys, a compact system is highly valuable; a system needs to be moved and operated by one person and last for a day of measurements operating on battery power. A compact cold atoms system is built; the final system has a weight of 17 kg, a power of 125 W and a volume of 45 l meeting the objective of
