cesium standard

A primary frequency standard in which electronic transitions between the two hyperfine ground states of cesium-133 atoms is used to control the output frequency. (188) Note : The energy level between the two hyperfine ground states corresponds, in the absence of external influences (e.g. , the magnetic field of the Earth), to a frequency of 9,192,631,770 Hz.
