Abstract
Most cesium fountain clocks built today operate in sequential steps where an atomic cloud is trapped, launched, interrogated and detected. Except for the interrogation, every other step requires laser beams to illuminate the atoms and produce fluorescence. The microwave interrogation is, on the other hand, severely disturbed by any fluorescence which produces a light shift on the atoms. Since it is desirable to minimize the dead time between the interrogation of the atoms, it is tempting to try to operate the fountain with many steps occurring simultaneously. In that case, the fluorescence light produced by the trap and the detection must be blocked before it enters the interrogation region. This is accomplished in some fountains by a using various shutters or by deflecting the trajectory of the atomic cloud with a non-uniform magnetic field. We propose here a new type of shutter that operates using an electrostatic force to move a rotor. A hole in the rotor lines up with the axis of the fountain at regular intervals to let the atomic cloud through, but then the shutter is closed when the laser beams are turned on. We give here the details of the operations of such a shutter and present the results of attenuation measurements.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
