Abstract
This paper describes the concept and the beginning of an experimental investigation of whether it is possible to directly detect dark energy density on earth using atom interferometry. The concept is to null out the gravitational force using a double interfermometer. This research provides a non-astronomical path for research on dark energy. The application of this method to other hypothetical weak forces and fields is also discussed. In the final section I discuss the advantages of carrying out a dark energy density search in a satellite in earth orbit where an even more sensitive search can be achieved.
