Casimir force for a sphere in front of a plane beyond Proximity Force Approximation

Abstract

For the configuration of a sphere in front of a plane we calculate the first two terms of the asymptotic expansion for small separation of the Casimir force. We consider both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions.
