Abstract

The gravimeter based on atom interferometry has potentially wide applications on building the gravity networks, geophysics as well as gravity assisted navigation. Here, we demonstrate experimentally a portable atom gravimeter operating in the noisy urban environment. Despite the influence of noisy external vibrations, our portable atom gravimeter reaches a sensitivity as good as 65 uGal/\sqrt{Hz} and a resolution of 1.1 uGal after 4000 s integration time, being comparable to state-of-the-art atom gravimeters. Our achievement paves the way for bring the portable atom gravimeter to field applications, such as gravity survey on a moving platform.
