Move article to Rubidium atomic clock?[edit]

I think this is the most WP:COMMONNAME for this device. In addition the current name Rubidium standard is confusing because it is also used for standard chemical lab purity samples of rubidium metal used in spectroscopy. Chetvorno^TALK 12:04, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to make the move within a week unless some persuasive reason not to appears. --Chetvorno^TALK 13:17, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Sounds reasonable to me. Eric ^talk 18:49, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support: @Chetvorno: Sounds reasonable to me as well! (The last person didn't remind you by pinging at all if Chetvorno forgot, but I know my message is way later than one week.) 207.81.187.41 (talk) 22:33, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should drop by "to 0.1%" rather than "by 0.1%"?[edit]

I don't want to make an edit here as I am not sure of my expertise, but I believe the absorption is by a factor of 1000 at resonance. Dkazdan (talk) 22:51, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no expertise here on my part either, but as I read the current text, if I invent a new unit of intensity called the "whatever", the intensity is diminished slightly by the microwave exposure, from 1,000 whatevers to 999 whatevers. I think "to 0.1%" would mean the intensity is being almost extinguished, down to 1 whatever. So it depends on which is the case (assuming I properly understood the context).
