Abstract
The first relativistic correction in the phase shift of a Raman light- pulse atom beam interferometer in a gravitational field is being calcu lated. The starting point is a three level system coupled to gravity w hich is treated to order c(-2). Gravity is described using the PPN for malism. It will be proposed that a new measurement with better estimat e of the PPN parameter beta could be possible.
