| Abstract: | Summary We discuss a null experiment to search for the fifth force at ranges around 10 km. It is proposed to use a three-axis gravity gradiometer to measure the trace of the Earth gravity tensor from a freely falling elevator dropped by a balloon. The main error sources are considered to some extent. Paper presented at the V Cosmic Physics National Conference, S. Miniato, November 27–30, 1990. |
