Data management: Caesium fountain

Atomic clocks, leveraging atomic oscillations in elements like rubidium and cesium-133, offer unprecedented precision in timekeeping, crucial for defining the second in the International System of Units. Among them, the caesium fountain atomic clock stands out, capable of maintaining accuracy within less than a second over millions of years. This extraordinary precision is essential not only for global timekeeping and satellite navigation but also for cutting-edge scientific research. At CERN, the Alpha experiment uses the caesium fountain clock to meticulously measure the transition frequencies of anti-hydrogen and compare them with regular hydrogen. Such comparisons are fundamental to investigating the matter-antimatter asymmetry suggested by the Big Bang theory. If a discrepancy in transition frequencies is found, it could reveal new physics, shedding light on why the observable universe is dominated by matter. This project focusses on improving the accessibility and management of caesium fountain hyperfine structure data by integrating it into a sophisticated database Midas, via LabVIEW. Facilitating data flow will improve analysing efficiency, allowing for more precise study on anti hydrogen and other applications in fundamental physics.
