g-universality test with a Galileo’s type experiment

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

We describe in detail a Galilean experiment performed to test theg-universality and we present our final results. The experiment measures the simultaneous free falling of two masses of different nuclear composition. The results have shown no evidence for any composition-dependent acceleration within a sensitivity of δa < 1 μGal.
