GAIN is an atomic interferometer based on rubidium and stimulated Raman transitions used to measure the gravitational acceleration. Its transportability makes it possible to measure at sites of geodetic and geophysical interest.
In cooperation with the German Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (Bundesamt für Karthographie und Geodäsie, BKG) a measurement campaign was conducted at the geodetic observatory in Wettzell to show the performance of quantum gravity sensor.
We will show the experimental apparatus and the operation with a focus on beam alignment. New procedures were tested to adjust the setup and thus optimize the measurement.
A long-term gravity measurement was recorded and compared with a superconducting gravimeter. We will discuss the Coriolis effect and a strategy to suppress the resulting phase shift. Another objective was to analyse the effect of an active and passive vibration isolation as well as the efficiency of a post-correction.
