Description
Archimedes is an INFN funded pathfinder experiment aimed at verifying the
feasibility of measuring the interaction of vacuum fluctuations with gravity.
The final experiment will measure the force exerted by the gravitational
field on a Casimir cavity whose vacuum energy is modulated with a
superconductive transition, by using a balance as a small force detector.
Archimedes is devoted to test the most critical experimental aspects, in
particular the balance resonance frequency and quality factor, the thermal
modulation efficiency and the superconductive sample realization.
