Abstract
We present an experiment performed to study the behaviour of the dynam ic gravitational interaction at laboratory scale. We used as field gen erator a mass quadrupole rotating in the range of 460 Hz and we detect ed the acceleration field with the cryogenic gravitational wave antenn a Explorer of the Rome group. We report the measurements of this inter action as a function of the distance between the field source and the detector. An upper limit on the parameters of a Yukawa-like potential, modeling an hypotetic deviation from the Newtonian law of gravity, is derived.
