The Cesium Beam Frequency Standard–Prospects for the Future

D. J. Wineland

Open publisher page 10 citations

Abstract

The present and future roles of the cesium beam frequancy standard in time and frequency metrology are discussed briefly. The present limitation of the cesium beam device is the uncertainty in the determination of the first- and second-order Doppler shifts. These are fundamental problems of all frequency standards, and possible solutions in cesium clocks and other standards are mentioned.
