Background ESA Cosmic Vision call for ideas (2004): approx. 50 ideas submitted, separately, in the area of “Fundamental Physics” Informal feedback: in some cases significant overlap between proposed ideas → community should unite behind a few, strong proposals Now: call for Cosmic Vision Mission Proposals in the near future…

Scientific Motivation GAUGE: Combine experiments that address key issues at the interface between gravity and quantum interactions Currently considered (NOT EXHAUSTIVE OR EXCLUSIVE): Equivalence Principle tests G/ISL measurements Search for spin-dependent effects Decoherence in Atom Interferometers …?

Experiment concepts (to be selected from …) EP measurement – Microscope, STEP – studied extensively within ESA/NASA Microscope 1 part in 1015 STEP 1 part in 1018

Experiment concepts - II G and 1/r2 – STEP, ISLAND – better than 1 part in 105 (Possibility of LISAPF G measurement – 1 part in 104) (Quinn et al. 2001) Disagreement 2x10-4

Experiment concepts - III Spin-dependent effects – STEP, SSPIN

Experiment concepts - IV Quantum decoherence - HYPER laser beam atom beam detector spacetime fluctuations fringe analyzer

Common technologies All potential experiments require Drag-free environment Precision displacement sensing of “proof-masses” Magnetic (SQUIDS) Electrostatic (Capacitive sensing) Optical (Interferometry) Cold atoms (Interferometry)

Heritage Readout Magnetic GP-B, STEP Optical / Capacitive LISAPF, Microscope Cold Atom HYPER + ground Spacecraft Bus – LISAPF Drag-free – LISAPF + LTP Space Experience within team Astrium / Birmingham / Imperial / Onera / RAL / Stanford / Trento / ZARM

Mission Concept Provide drag-free environment using LISAPF bus with LTP inertial sensor Modular experiment bays – different environments possible Launch into LEO sun-synchronous orbit with VEGA Thermal Stability Earth as Source

Some key dates VEGA maiden flight: end 2007 LISA PF success demonstrated: end 2010 … even allowing for delays, this should happen in time for mission in 2015-2025

“Recipe” for success Launcher, Spacecraft Bus and Drag-free Platform: existing technology  Payload: choose according to Scientific Merit Feasibility Affordability Inevitable Compromise

Plans Submit Cosmic Vision Mission Proposal to ESA (deadline Summer 2007) So far at UK level: well-received presentation to national Research Council (PPARC) Several meetings planned in the near future: Experimental concepts input and definition of Science Team Experimental layout definition Initiate industry-led accommodation study

Summary GAUGE is a mission at the interface of gravity and its unification with other interactions Mature technology Experienced team Fits into medium mission cost envelope → open invitation to collaborators!
