23 ACES Mission Objectives ACES Mission Objectives ACES performances Fundamental physics tests Scientific background and recent results Measurement of the gravitational red shift Absolute measurement of the gravitational redshift at an uncertainty level < after 300 s and < after 10 days of integration time. Space-to-ground clock comparison at the level, will yield a factor 35 improvement on previous measurements (GPA experiment). Search for time drifts of fundamental constants Time variations of the fine structure constant α at a precision level of α -1 dα / dt < year -1 down to year -1 in case of a mission duration of 3 years Optical clocks progress will allow clock-to-clock comparisons below the level. Crossed comparisons of clocks based on different atomic elements will impose strong constraints on the time drifts of α, me /Λ QCD, and m u /Λ QCD. Search for violations of special relativity Search for anisotropies of the speed of light at the level δ c / c < ACES results will improve present limits on the RMS parameter α based on fast ions spectroscopy and GPS satellites by one and two orders of magnitudes respectively.

The global coverage offered by ACES will complement the results of the CHAMP, GRACE, and GOCE missions. Les Houches, 20 October 2009 GPhyS Kick-Off Colloquium 24
