Atom interferometry gravity-gradiometer for the determination of the Newtonian gravitational constant G
We developed a gravity-gradiometer based on atom interferometry for the determination of the Newtonian gravitational constant G. The apparatus, combining a Rb fountain, Raman interferometry and a juggling scheme for fast launch of two atomic clouds, was specifically designed to reduce possible systematic effects. We present instrument performances and show that the sensor is able to detect the ...
متن کاملPost-Newtonian Gravitational Radiation
Let us declare that the most important devoir of any physical theory is to draw firm predictions for the outcome of laboratory experiments and astronomical observations. Unfortunately, the devoir is quite difficult to fulfill in the case of general relativity, essentially because of the complexity of the Einstein field equations, to which only few exact solutions are known. For instance, it is ...
متن کاملModel-independent test of spatial variations of the Newtonian gravitational constant in some extrasolar planetary systems
In this paper we directly test the possibility that the Newtonian gravitational constant G may experience spatial variations over ranges ≈ 0.01− 5 AU in various extrasolar multi-planet systems by means of the third Kepler’s law. The answer is negative, within the experimental errors, for all the considered systems. A comparison with an analogous test previously performed in our Solar System is ...
متن کاملA Newtonian pre-introduction to gravitational lenses
Understanding the deflection of light by a massive deflector, as well as the associated gravitational lens phenomena, require the use of the theory of General Relativity. I consider here a classical approach, based on Newton’s equation of motion for massive particles. These particles are emitted by a distant source and deflected by the gravitational field of a (opaque) star or of a (transparent...
متن کاملThe Newtonian Potential in Gravitational Cohomology
We examine the Newtonian potential in gravitational cohomology. This is given by a symmetric, two-index tensor field, which satisfies the wave equation in empty space. Furthermore, the associated gravitational field strength, obtained by applying the coboundary operator to the potential, is constructed for the case of a stationary point mass and shown to give the classical result.
