A Study of Atomic Magnetic Transitions During Operation of an H-Maser Double-State Selection System

  • TIME AND FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A dependence is experimentally obtained for the work efficiency of a double-state selection system based on the Majorana effect on current in transverse (to the direction of atomic flux) coils in the zone between sorting magnets. The operation of the double-state selection system is confirmed by the power curve of an H-maser, as well as using a double resonance method.
