Seven leading UK institutions have embarked on a programme to construct a series of atom interferometers with baselines stretching from 10 m to 1 km. Building upon existing partnerships with the UK National Quantum Technology Hub in Sensors and Timing, the MAGIS Collaboration in the US and the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the AION project will share many technical features with existing systems and, in particular, with the MAGIS experimental programme. In addition, AION will benefit from operating in a network with its US counterpart, as well as with other atom interferometers such as MIGA, ZAIGA and ELGAR as part of a new generation of experiments designed to search for new fundamental physics. |
