Ultra-high vacuum pressure measurement using cold atoms

S. Supakar, Vivek Singh, Tiwari, V. B. +1 more

In this work, we have measured the background pressure in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber by measuring the collisional loss rates in a Rb atom magneto-optical trap (MOT) on an atom chip. The loss rate due to non-Rb gases in the background has been estimated by measuring the MOT loss rate in low Rb pressure regime. These results can be useful for development of cold-atoms based UHV pressure standards.

Challenges to miniaturizing cold atom technology for deployable vacuum metrology

Stephen Eckel, Daniel S. Barker, James A. Fedchak +5 more

Cold atoms are excellent metrological tools; they currently realize SI time and, soon, SI pressure in the ultra-high (UHV) and extreme high vacuum (XHV) regimes. The development of primary, vacuum metrology based on cold atoms currently falls under the purview of national metrology institutes. Under the emerging paradigm of the "quantum-SI", these technologies become deployable (relatively easy-to-use sensors that integrate with other vacuum chambers), providing a primary realization of the pascal in the UHV and XHV for the end-user. Here, we discuss the challenges that this goal presents. We investigate, for two different modes of operation, the expected corrections to the ideal cold-atom vacuum gauge and estimate the associated uncertainties. Finally, we discuss the appropriate choice of sensor atom, the light Li atom rather than the heavier Rb.
