Effects of horizontal acceleration on the superconducting gravimeter CT #036 at Ishigakijima, Japan

Abstract In the gravity sensor of a superconducting gravimeter, a superconducting sphere as a test mass is levitated in a magnetic field. Such a sensor is susceptible to applied horizontal as well as vertical acceleration, because the translational degrees of freedom of the mass are not perfectly li...
