Abstract
We are currently operating a 30 m laser strainmeter in an unworked gold mine near Boulder, Colorado. We are using the instrument to study earth tides, earth normal modes, and other problems of geophysical interest. In addition we are conducting a series of experiments of astrophysical significance. It is this latter group of experiments that we wish to report on here.
Work supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grant number GA-3636S.
