Scientific paper

A null experiment to search for a possible new interaction, the so-called fifth force, at ranges of about 10 km is discussed. An experimental setup is proposed whereby a three-axis gradiometer is used to measure the trace of the earth gravity tensor from a freely falling detector dropped by a balloon. The main sources of error are examined, with attention given to perturbations of the instrument, instrumental biases, finite baseline effect, axis misalignment, scale factor mismatch, and transients.
