    "abstract": "The Pauli Exclusion Principle is a basic principle of Quantum Mechanics, and\nits validity has never been seriously challenged. However, given its\nfundamental standing, it is very important to check it as thoroughly as\npossible. Here we describe the VIP (VIolation of the Pauli exclusion principle)\nexperiment, an improved version of the Ramberg and Snow experiment (E. Ramberg\nand G. Snow, {\\it Phys. Lett. B} {\\bf 238}, 438 (1990)); VIP has just completed\nthe installation at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory, and aims to test the\nPauli Exclusion Principle for electrons with unprecedented accuracy, down to\n$\\beta^2/2 \\approx 10^{-30} - 10^{-31}$. We report preliminary experimental\nresults and briefly discuss some of the implications of a possible violation.",
