Abstract
The gravitational phenomenon, founded on the assumption of absorption of a flux of gravitons through the matter, led to a law of attraction comprising a term of attenuation of gravity. The attenuation effect, which depends on the distribution of mass elements into the Sun, was compared with the relativistic effect for the orbital elements of planets. The calculations carried out with our modified law of Newton, lead to a perfect agreement for the advance of the perihelion of planets, and give an interaction cross section with the matter of 3.2x10^-17 m2/kg (approximately 10^-40 cm2/nucleon). The effect of attenuation during a solar eclipse will produce a local reduction in the soli-lunar attraction of 0.13 microgal. This small variation of gravity during the eclipse can lead to distortions of the geoid of about ten millimetres of which effect on gravity, estimated at a few microgals, is compatible with the observed gravitational anomalies. The gravimetric measurements taken in the area of Montreal during the Sun eclipse of May 10, 1994, show the existence of an anomaly of 2.4 microgals that coincides perfectly with the period of the eclipse.
