LARES/WEBER-SAT and the equivalence principle
نویسنده
چکیده
It has often been claimed that the proposed Earth artificial satellite LARES/WEBER-SAT−whose primary goal is, in fact, the measurement of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect at a some percent level−would allow to greatly improve, among (many) other things, the present−day (10) level of accuracy in testing the equivalence principle as well. Recent claims point towards even two orders of magnitude better than now, i.e. 10. In this note we show that such a goal is, in fact, unattainable by many orders of magnitude being, instead, the achievable level ≈ 10.

متن کاملSome comments on a recently proposed test of the Brane - World scenario with the LARES / WEBER - SAT satellite
Recently Ciufolini has suggested to use the perigee of the proposed LARES/WEBER-SAT satellite in order to measure the secular precession which would be induced on such Keplerian orbital element by a weak-field modification of gravity occurring in some Brane-World scenarios put forth by Dvali. This precession would amount to 0.04 milliarcseconds per year for LARES. In this paper we show that, ac...
