Abstract
The status of the dual atom interferometer for the precise measurement of inertial forces, based on optical Raman transitions for the coherent beam splitting process is reported. Two interferometers with overlapping counter propagating atomic trajectories are used to exactly distinguish between rotation and acceleration.
