Abstract

Collisions between cold caesium 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 caesium fountain primary frequency standard based on measure¬ments of the fractional loss of cold atoms from the atomic cloud during the interro¬gation time combined with a model [K. Gibble, Phys. Rev. Lett., 110, 180802, 2013] that quantifies the relationship between the loss and the frequency shift.
