  • Abstract
    If we want to base the kilogram definition on the mass of the 28Si atom, the present uncertainty of the Si (220) lattice plane spacing has to be lowered by a factor ten. On the way to achieve this improvement, the comparison between the lattice spacing determinations obtained by combined X-ray and optical interferometry via the Si crystal standards MO*4 and WS5C of the IMGC and the WASO 4.2a one of the PTB is intended to assess the 0.16 part per million shift between the lattice spacing values recently obtained in a joint IMGC-NMIJ measurement and the past values obtained by IMGC and PTB
