OK, that I guess that kinda-sorta makes sense if the accelerometers were rigidly mounted to the floor. Was that the case? Because if so then what you would have would basically be a seismometer, and floor bending from the test masses would, it seems to me, be the least of your worries.

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 the presence of people in the room was noticeble indeed.

  That makes sense. Thanks!
