Since May 20 2019, the unit of mass is realized based on three fundamental reference constants: the Planck constant $h$, the speed of light $c$, and the unperturbed ground state hyperfine transition frequency of the cesium 133 atom $Deltanu_{Cs}$. With this new definition of the unit of mass, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) realized masses in the range of 0.05 kg to 0.20 kg directly on the NIST primary realization, and compared the results to the traditional work-down. This abstract shows the advantage and the improvement in the measurement uncertainty of mass in the small range that was only possible after the redefinition.","PeriodicalId":373216,"journal":{"name":"2020 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128487799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Apart from many distinctive advantages of single phase measurement scheme, there is a tolerable disadvantage: AC Faraday's voltage induced by an oscillating magnet across the ends of the coil and DC voltage induced by a current passing through the coil should be measured simultaneously with high precision. DC voltage measurements are carried out by using traditional methods. AC voltage measurements, on the other hand, are performed by following the new dynamic-based measurement procedure developed in order to achieve a relative uncertainty of about some part of a billion.","PeriodicalId":373216,"journal":{"name":"2020 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116397898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 2020 virtual conference contains two distinct technical programs, one for the NCSLI annual workshop and symposium and one for CPEM 2020. The CPEM technical program includes 241 contributions from 639 authors and co-authors. All presentations were granted a virtual oral presentation, consisting of a pre-recorded video that is available on-demand to all registered attendees. The CPEM presentations are grouped in 32 virtual sessions that will remain accessible until summer 2021.

Initial results indicate the devices perform similarly to devices fabricated circa 2001 with ac-dc differences of less than $2 mu mathrm{V}/mathrm{V}$ over the frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. From 20 kHz to 1 MHz, the ac-dc difference was higher, but remained below $200 mu mathrm{V}/mathrm{V}$.
