The aim of this research is to resolve long standing disputes on the role of temperature (black body photons) in the Casimir effect and provide insight into the accuracy of the theoretical description of the Casimir effect for real metals boundaries at non-zero temperatures. In addition, the use of low temperatures in these experiments will improve the sensitivity of the Casimir force measurements. This research will help set limits on the presence of extra dimensions and hypothetical forces outside the Standard model predicted by some modern unification theories.
