Everitt was educated at Imperial College London and the University of Pennsylvania in low-temperature physics.
Everitt was educated at Imperial College London and the University of Pennsylvania in low-temperature physics.
Everitt is Principal Investigator of the Gravity Probe B mission mainly aimed to test frame-dragging at an expected accuracy of 1%. According to general relativity, it is an effect induced by the rotation of the Earth on orbiting gyroscopes. The results were published in Physical Review Letters in May 2011.
The results confirm general relativity"s predictions, though not to the project"s ambitious goal of 1% precision.
As of November 2013, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ADS database, the h-index of C.W.F. Everitt is 18, with a total number of citations (self-citations excluded) of about 900. The tori index and the riq index are 12.1 and 62, respectively.
He is Professor at the Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory of Stanford University and is also an Associate Member of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC).
