Description

Eötvös balance is a dipole type gradio-gravitometer. In recent years, simple innovations have increased its sensitivity by two orders of magnitude, making it more sensitive to environmental effects, like pressure changes, Earth-mantle deformation, or earthquake-related events, among others [1]. In this presentation we will show the main elements of the modernisation and show examples of some measured geophysical phenomena, as well as our efforts to measure Newtonian noise.
