Abstract

SPECTRAL ABERRATION HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME THE MAIN SOURCE OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE 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
