Yes, the accelerometers were mounted on an optical bench and of course we could detect any minor earthquake (sensitivity was around 1e-10 ms^-2). The bending of the floor due to th…

For the accelerometers the problem was the tiny tilting of the sensitive axis in the gravity field. In this case you're probably right that this doesn't matter - but in general it …

A caveat. I had the change to perform a similar experiment at work testing very sensitive accelerometers. Believe it or not, the biggest source of errors was the bending of the flo…
