Archimedes is a feasibility study to a future experiment to ascertain the interaction of vacuum fluctuations with gravity. The future experiment should measure the force that the earth’s gravitational field exerts on a Casimir cavity by using a balance as the small force detector. The Archimedes experiment analizes the important parameters in view of the final measurement and experimentally explores solutions to the most critical problems.

Abstract
Archimedes is a feasibility study to a future experiment to ascertain the interaction of vacuum fluctuations with gravity. The future experiment should measure the force that the earth’s gravitational field exerts on a Casimir cavity by using a balance as the small force detector. The Archimedes experiment analizes the important parameters in view of the final measurement and experimentally explores solutions to the most critical problems.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
