The 18th Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures
recalls that
the definition of the second as it results from the decisions of the 13th Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures implies that the caesium atom used as reference is at rest and unperturbed,
this implies in particular that, in its practical realization, measurements must be corrected for the velocity of the caesium atoms with respect to the clock reference frame, for magnetic and electric interactions, spin exchange and other possible perturbations,
and, in order to implement the necessary corrections,
recommends
that theoretical studies of all perturbing effects be developed
that experiments in order to identify these effects, to verify their theoretical interpretation and to evaluate the uncertainty of the corresponding corrections be actively pursued.
