1 OUT US WORLDWIDE METROLOGY INTERNATIONAL EQUIVALENCE the future revision of the SI MEASUREMENT UNITS Introduction SERVICES PUBLICATIONS (hqp:// units/new- si/) Future revision of the SI What? Why? When? Ongoing work Communication and debate; draft documents FAQs; More info. The AtNew SI based fixed values of: CGPM adopted a its 25th meetingon (November 2014) the on the future revision of the International System of Units. Resolution Planck constant, h This Resolution built on the CGPM's previous Resolution (2011), which note of the CIPM's intentionn to propose a revision of the SI and took Avogadro constant, set out a detailed road-map towardsathe future changes. elementary charge, e In the "New SI" four of the SI base units namely the Boltzmann constant, k and the mole will be kilogram, the ampere, the kelvin redefined in terms of constants; the new definitions will be based on fixed numerical values of the Planck constant (h), the elementary charge (e),ththe Boltzmann constant (kb), and the Avogadro constant (NA), respectively. Further, the definitions of all seven base units of the SI will also be uniformly expressed using the explicit-constant formulation, and specific mises en pratique will be drawn up to explain the realization of the definitions of each of the base units in a practical way. ResoluCon 1 of the 24 meecng of the CGPM: Invites: CODATA to concnue to provide adjusted values of the fundamental physical constants... since these CODATA values and uncertain4es will be those used for the revised SI SI road-map (updated 2014) Resolution 1 of the CGPM (2014): On the future revision of the International System of Units, the SI Resolution 1 of the CGPM (2011): On the possible future revision of the International System of Units, the SI

3 TGFC LSA Methodology Collect all data Older data form previous LSAs Include new data since the last LSA Preliminary review of the data Check for up-to-date input and corrections, full uncertainty analysis, and internal consistency Select acceptable data by lowest uncertainties Assess relation with other input data Supersedes previous results? Covariance - sort by common uncertainty components

4 TGFC LSA Methodology (cont.d) Run mini LSA for each of the main constants and use standard statistic tools to investigate goodness of fit Chi squared (χ 2 ), Probability of reduced χ 2, Birge ratio R B, Maximum Normalized Residuals (MNR), Maximum Normalized Difference (MND), etc. Adjust expansion factors, include/exclude specific data 1% self sensitivity test Run final multi-variant LSA, argue, re-run LSA, etc. Minimize total disagreement

Search facility:!!site map!!news!!contact us ABOUT US WORLDWIDE METROLOGY INTERNATIONAL EQUIVALENCE MEASUREMENT UNITS SERVICES PUBLICATIONS MEETINGS CODATA Task Group on Fundamental Constants Introduction Membership Recommended values of the fundamental constants Contact info. Minutes Members' area The purpose of the CODATA Task Group on Fundamental Constants (TGFC) is "to periodically provide the scientific and technological communities with a self-consistent set of internationally recommended values of the basic constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry based on all of the relevant data available at a given point in time." The CODATA-TGFC is not constituted under the auspices of the BIPM, but because of the close linkage between the SI units and fundamental constants, it enjoys a close relationship with the CCU and the BIPM; this portal, created as a working website for the Task Group, is an example. The public section of this website provides information about the activities of the Task Group on Fundamental Constants including meeting dates, meeting minutes, and membership. CODATA internationally recommended values of the Fundamental Physical Constants (2010 LSA) The next meeting of the TGFC will take place on 31 August and 1st September 2015 at the BIPM.! More!!
