Abstract:
This article describes the conceptual design of a dual species cold-atom based pressure sensor to be built at the Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) in cooperation with the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and supported by the University of British Columbia (UBC). It shall be capable of pressure measurements based on the loss rate of magnetically trapped rubidium and potassium atoms and shall lay the foundation for commercial applications of this measurement method.
