26. We assume throughout the paper that LPI is sufficiently verified so that the variation of the maser frequency due to the diurnal variation of the local gravitational potential is negligible. Indeed the results ofsuch variations should not exceed 2 parts in (Formula presented), which is significantly below our noise level.
