Testing general relativity with atom interferometry.
The unprecedented precision of atom interferometry will soon lead to laboratory tests of general relativity to levels that will rival or exceed those reached by astrophysical observations. We propose such an experiment that will initially test the equivalence principle to 1 part in 10(15) (300 times better than the current limit), and 1 part in 10(17) in the future. It will also probe general r...
متن کاملTesting Atom and Neutron Neutrality with Atom Interferometry
Introduction. Charge quantization and atom neutrality in the Standard Model (SM) are mysteries which are automatically solved when the theory is embedded in a Grand Unified group. Even then, Witten has shown [1] that in the presence of CP non-conservation magnetic monopoles acquire an electric charge that is proportional to the amount of CP violation, a non-quantized quantity. This suggests tha...
متن کاملTesting General Relativity with Current Cosmological Data
Deviations from general relativity, such as could be responsible for the cosmic acceleration, would influence the growth of large scale structure and the deflection of light by that structure. We clarify the relations between several different model independent approaches to deviations from general relativity appearing in the literature, devising a translation table. We examine current constrai...

متن کاملTesting General Relativity with Pulsar Timing
Pulsars of very different types, including isolated objects and binaries (with short- and long-period orbits, and white-dwarf and neutron-star companions) provide the means to test both the predictions of general relativity and the viability of alternate theories of gravity. This article presents an overview of pulsars, then discusses the current status of and future prospects for tests of equi...
