Abstract
The first relativistic correction in the phase shift of a Raman light-pulse atom beam interferometer in a gravitational field
is being calculated. The starting point is a three level system coupled to gravity which is treated to order
c-2. Gravity is described using the PPN formalism. It will be proposed that a new measurement with better estimate of the PPN
parameter
could be possible.
