Expérimental Description
Optical lattice clocks are now the best frequency standards, with uncertainties in the 10^-18 range, and are well positioned to replace the Cs atom for the next definition of the SI second. The aim of this internship is to perform the clock spectroscopy of ultra-cold strontium atoms trapped in an optical lattice with Laguerre-Gauß shaped profiles, in order to improve our understanding of the main systematic effects limiting the accuracy of the clock.
