Abstract :
The authors report recent progress on an optical lattice clock based on the 1So-3Po transition of 87Sr. Improvement of the spectral resolution allows measurement of the magnetically-induced frequency shift with an uncertainty below 10-15. The high line quality factor is expected to yield complete evaluation of systematic effects at that same level in the near future
