The Official Logo for the CPT '04 Meeting

Following this subject for me has been a extremely delicate process and I am trying hard to understand this growth determination.



The two clocks depicted in the official logo for the CPT '04 meeting are related by the parity transformation (P). The inversion of black and white represents charge conservation (C), while time reversal (T) is represented by the movement of the hands of the clock in opposite directions.

The experiment, which has the potential to achieve record sensitivities, is currently taking data. Atomic clocks have been planned to fly on the International Space Station or other space platforms, providing increased speeds and rotation rates and hence improved sensitivities for tests of Lorentz symmetry. Kurt Gibble of Penn State reviewed the status of his two-arm rubidium clock, which may eventually be used to perform Lorentz tests in space.

RACE, the Rubidium Atomic Clock Experiment, is a mission designed to extend the understanding of physical effects on atomic clocks to a fractional accuracy of 10^-17 and vastly improve classic clock tests of Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
