LOW FORCES

PeTER (PEndolo Traslazionale E Rotazionale) is a double torsion pendulum aimed to the study of residual forces on a Lisa Pathfinder inertial mass, on two degrees of freedom.
The pendulum, initially located in Florence, has been brought on a solid concrete base in the Laboratorio di Fisica della Gravitazione and upgraded with new motors, controls and sensors.. It is now fully functional and running.
