Abstract

Spectral aberration has been the main source of uncertainty in Johnson Noise Thermometry approach to measuring the Boltzmann constant. Recently, with newly developed hardware and the introduction of a novel fitting algorithm for analyzing the data, we have achieved a frequency independent spectral aberration for measurements with the NIST JNT system. Consequently, we performed a data drift analysis and an electromagnetic interference investigation to explain a residual offset that affects the Boltzmann constant.
