  • Abstract
    This paper presents the achievement of the dual atom clock operation of the FO2 double fountain at LNE-SYRTE with both Cs and Rb atoms launched simultaneously. We describe how it works, metrological characteristics and results of the first Rb/Cs frequency measurement campaign performed with FO2 as a dual atom clock, among which a new absolute frequency determination of the 87Rb hyperfine frequency.
