For an average Cs ion current I,-, into the first dynode of the electron. multiplier in the Cs beam tube, the noise density QI(f) of the current will be. given' by. where q = charge on an electron = 1.602 x lo-'' Coulomb. Then the signal-to- noise ratio for a 1-Hz noise bandwidth at the first-dynode input is.

Abstract. In a recent paper entitled "The Millman Effect in Cesium Beam Atomic Frequency Standards" ( Mungall A G 1976 Metrologia 12 151) a systematic frequency shift was observed and explained in terms of the Millman effect. The purpose of this note is to suggest that an alternative explanation be sought for the observed results.

Abstract. The accuracy of Cesium beam frequency standards has been studied extensively over the years. Most of the published work, however, was carried out on few devices, which have been built in a small number of national laboratories. This puts the Cs beam standard in a strange and unique position because it is the primary reference, and it ...

A systematic frequency shift which reverses sign with either C field or beam reversal and which can be interpreted as the consequence of the Millman effect has been found in the new NRC cesium beam clock, CsV. A method of calculating the resonance asymmetry resulting from this effect and the dependence on the velocity distribution and exciting …

Cesium 133 is the element most commonly chosen for atomic clocks. To turn the cesium atomic resonance into an atomic clock, it is necessary to measure one of its transition or resonant frequencies accurately. This is normally done by locking a crystal oscillator to …

On the left of Fig. 2 is a cesium oven from which a beam of cesium atoms emerges when the oven is heated. This beam of cesium atoms is collimated and directed through a Stern-Gerlach magnet (the a-magnet in Fig. 2), that deflects and focuses those cesium atoms in the beam that are in the desired state through a hole in the magnetic shield, so ...
