Abstract: We report on preliminary results on the measurement of variations of the Casimir energy in rigid cavities through its influence on the superconducting transition of in-cavity aluminium (Al) thin films. After a description of the experimental apparatus we report on a measurement made with thermal photons, discussing its implications for the zero-point photons case. Finally we show the preliminary results for the zero-point case.<br />Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, Talk given at QFEXT07 Conference in Liepzig: Quantum Field Theory Under the Influence of External Conditions
