Abstract :
The uncertainty budget of a primary frequency standard based on a continuous cold cesium beam builds up differently than with a pulsed fountain. This communication reports on a detailed theoretical and experimental analysis of three entries in the continuous case: the collisional shift, the light shift and the Zee-man shift
