Description
Summary:We will expose a preliminary study on the feasibility of an experiment leading to a direct measurement of the gravitomagnetic field generated by the rotational motion of the Earth. This measurement would be achieved by means of an appropriate coupling of a TELEscope and a Foucault PENdulum in a laboratory on ground, preferably at the SOUTH pole. An experiment of this kind was firstly proposed by Braginski, Polnarev and Thorne, 18 years ago, but it was never re-analyzed. : 7 pages, LaTeX, Springer style files included. Contribution to the Proceedings of the Spanish Relativity Meeting-ERE-2001 (Madrid, September 2001). To appear in the book "Relativistic Astrophysics", Lecture Notes in Physics, Springer Verlag (2002), edited by L. Fernandez-Jambrina, L.M. Gonzalez-Romero
