Description
The Archimedes experiment is devoted to the measurement of the interaction of vacuum fluctuations and gravity throught the use of a criogenic balance to be placed in the undergriound site of Sos-Enattos, in the SAR-GRAV laboratory. The measurement consists in weighing the condensation energy of stratified type II superconductors, like YBCO, around the transition temperature. The need of a seismically quite site motivates its construction in SAR-GRAV. In the poster the status of the experiment will be illustrated, togheteher with the required specifications on seismic noise and the final expected sensitivity.
