The Standard-Model Extension and Gravitational Tests
The Standard-Model Extension (SME) provides a comprehensive effective field-theory framework for the study of CPT and Lorentz symmetry. This work reviews the structure and philosophy of the SME and provides some intuitive examples of symmetry violation. The results of recent gravitational tests performed within the SME are summarized including analysis of results from the Laser Interferometer G...
متن کاملChecking the variability of the gravitational constant with binary pulsars
The most precise measurements are done at present by timing of radiopulsars in binary systems with two neutron stars. The timing measurements of the Taylor-Hulse pulsar give the most precise results on testing of general relativity (GR), finding implicit proof of existence of gravitational waves. We show that the existing measurements, used for checking the variability of the fundamental consta...
متن کاملNew Limits on the Strong Equivalence Principle from Two Long-period Circular-orbit Binary Pulsars
Following a brief review of the principles of the strong equivalence principle (SEP) and tests for its violation in the strong and weak gravitational field regimes, we present preliminary results of new tests using two long-period binary pulsars: J0407+1607 and J2016+1947. PSR J0407+1607 is in a 669day orbit around a > ∼ 0.2M ̄ companion, while J2016+1947 is in a 635-day orbit around a > ∼ 0.3M ̄...
متن کاملMetric fluctuations and the Weak Equivalence Principle
We describe space–time fluctuations by means of small fluctuations of the metric on a given background metric. From a minimally coupled Klein–Gordon equation we obtain within a weakfield approximation up to second order and an averaging procedure over a finite space–time scale given by the quantum particle in the non–relativistic limit a modified Schrödinger equation. The dominant modification ...
متن کاملOn the possibility of testing the Weak Equivalence Principle with artificial Earth satellites
In this paper we examine the possibility of testing the equivalence principle, in its weak form, by analyzing the orbital motion of a pair of artificial satellites of different composition moving along orbits of identical shape and size in the gravitational field of Earth. It turns out that the obtainable level of accuracy is, realistically, of the order of 10−10 or slightly better. It is limit...
