Improvement in the accuracy of the magnetic field reconstruction has been achieved due to the small size and low magnetic back action of the AMRs, which enables the possibility to place more sensors and locate them closer to the TMs. Based on the experience with LISA Pathfinder, the use of AMRs with a dedicated noise reduction technique seems nowadays the most suitable technology for eLISA. Atomic magnetometer’s noise based on AM NMOR shows promising results at eLISA frequencies ∼ 50 pT Hz−1/2 . Further work: what happens at chip-scale? 17 Introduction Magnetic field interpolation based on AMR Atomic magnetometer at eLISA frequencies Thank you! 17
