abstract

We conducted three torsion-balance experiments to test the gravitational inverse-square law at separations between 9.53 mm and 55 micrometers, probing distances less than the dark-energy length scale $\lambda_{\rm d}=\sqrt[4]{\hbar c/\rho_{\rm d}}\approx 85 \mu$m. We find with 95% confidence that the inverse-square law holds ($|\alpha| \leq 1$) down to a length scale $\lambda = 56 \mu$m and that an extra dimension must have a size $R \leq 44 \mu$m.

Parameterized Post-Newtonian Analysis of Quadratic Gravity and Solar System Constraints

gr-qc · 2026-01-09 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Quadratic gravity with Weyl-squared and Ricci-squared terms produces PPN parameters that equal their GR values except for exponentially decaying corrections, with gamma identically 1 when the two mode masses are equal, yielding solar-system lower bounds m_R, m_W greater than or equal to 23 per AU.

Fifth-Force Constraints from UV-Complete Scalar-Tensor Gravity

gr-qc · 2026-05-11 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

UV completeness in scalar-tensor gravity restricts the fifth-force Yukawa parameters α and λ to a narrow wedge in parameter space, ruling out its complement and part of the experimentally allowed domain.
