Testing the universality of free fall with rubidium and ytterbium in a very large baseline atom interferometer

We propose a very long baseline atom interferometer test of Einstein’s equivalence principle (EEP) with ytterbium and rubidium extending over 10 m of free fall. In view of existing parametrizations of EEP violations, this choice of test masses significantly broadens the scope of atom interferometric...
