[en] The “watt balance” project aims at linking the kilogram definition to the Planck constant. The weighing of the mass involved requires a determination of the acceleration g with an uncertainty better than 10-8. This work aims at determining g with an atomic gravimeter and a dedicated gravimetric site.
