2 GReAT: General Relativity Accuracy Test estimated accuracy several parts in 10^15 Differential accelerometer with two proof masses of different materials Detector free falls (after release from top of capsule) for 30 s inside an evacuated capsule previously released from a balloon at altitude > 40 km Detector rotated during fall for signal modulation Experiment isolated from external noise sources acting on capsule
3 Ground-based vs. Free-falling Ground-based lab. tests limited by: Small signal strength 1/600 g or 1/1700 g Seismic noise g/hz 1/2 at low frequency Advantages of free-fall tests: Full Earth s gravity signal External acceleration noise can be < g Drag-free satellites Drag-shielded vertical free fall η = a a
4 Team Responsibility Free-fall system (SAO) Cryogenic/capsule system (with Janis Research) Release mechanism (key to cooling and clean release) Room temperature electronics and detector power source Detector (IFSI) Achieving the required values (e.g., Q-factor) Attenuating initial transients Achieving the desired common-mode rejection
5 Cryogenic Capsule Flight sequences Total length = 6.5 m External diameter = 1.2 m Total mass = 1300 kg
6 Facility Performances Spectral density of the Earth gravity gradient, Contribution due to the masses placed on the capsule, Inertial gradient due to the vibrations of the capsule walls, to the platform, via the residual gas in the capsule. Reference gravity gradient: 10 2 EU / Hz
