Abstract :
We have demonstrated a juggling /sup 87/Rb fountain clock. The juggling frequency shift is a particularly interesting measurement. We expect to report measurements of the Ramsey fringe contrast and a comparison to calculations that include photon recoils. We will also present results of calculations of distributed cavity phase shifts.
