Additionally, the orientation of the polarisation ellipse in the lab frame was cho- sen such that the observable of interest (angular shift mostly parallel to the major axis of polari- sation) was orthogonal to the direction with the biggest experimental noise (along the gas jet direc- tion,...
In this article, Gre- gory Armstrong, Margarita Khokhlova, Marie Labeye, Andrew Maxwell, Emilio Pisanty and Marco Ruberti try to dispel this tension and find common ground, by critically analyzing the key methods employed in atto- science [4]. They examine their advantages and short- comings,...
