Balance - Beam

Published in The European Physical Journal Plus (2024), this study details the development of a highly sensitive beam balance designed for a groundbreaking physics experiment.

The balance operates in a low-seismic-noise laboratory in Sardinia, Italy. It has achieved sensitivity in the tens of mHz frequency band, limited only by thermal noise, which is essential for detecting the incredibly small forces associated with vacuum energy. Other Notable Papers & Perspectives
