摘要
Collisions between cold cesium atoms and background gas atoms at ambient temperature reduce the cold atom signal in a fountain clock and at the same time produce a shift in the measured clock frequency. We evaluate the shift in the NPL-CsF2 cesium fountain primary frequency standard based on measurements of the fractional loss of cold atoms from the atomic cloud during the interrogation time combined with a model by Gibble that quantifies the relationship between the loss and the frequency shift.
