Before an ESA mission reaches the launch pad, it has to go through a number of approval procedures that ensure the mission’s readiness. The future space-based gravitational wave observatory, the Laser ...
We investigate the use of an atomic Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) with a pulsed non-interacting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) source as a space-based acceleration sensor. We derive an analytic ...
Hard X-ray phase-contrast imaging characterizes the electron density distribution in an object without the need for radiation absorption. The power of phase contrast to resolve subtle changes, such as ...
