摘 要:正 An overview of the experiments at the Drop Tower Bremen to proof the Weak Equi-valence Principle (WEP) will be given. The whole experimental apparatus is describedwhich consists of a low temperature part with a SQUID-based accelerometer inside a LHebath cryostat that is situated on a free flying platform to reduce the remaining air dragin the evacuated drop tube. The actual status of the free fall experiment will be reported
