Recently, we observed quasi-periodic frequency oscillations in CSF1, which is the first cesium fountain clock at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany. These oscillations could be traced back to Majorana transitions after the second Ramsey interaction. A change in field configuration eliminated the Majorana transitions and with it the frequency oscillations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
