The LNE-SYRTE cold atom gravimeter

We present results on the evaluation of the metrological performances of our second generation cold atom gravimeter, operating since 2009. This instrument uses free falling 87Rb cold atoms, whose acceleration is measured thanks to atom interferometry techniques. This allows for a sensitive and absolute determination of the gravity acceleration. We present the results of various comparisons of our atomic sensor with high performance absolute or relative gravimeters based on other technologies.
