摘要:

我们用一台连续旋转的扭秤测量了铍和钛试件在不同距离上对源的加速度差。我们的结果Δ a=(0.6+/-3.1 x10 ^-15 m/s^2将从1 m到无穷远的等效原理违背的极限提高了一个数量级。Eoetvoes参数为eta=(0.3+/-1.8 x10 ^-13。通过分析银河系中心的加速度数据,我们发现Be和Ti对银河系暗物质的吸引力相等,得出eta=(-4 +/- 7)x10^-5。在95%的置信度下,任何方向上的空间固定差分加速度都被限制在小于8.8x10^-15 m/s^2。

英文摘要:

We used a continuously rotating torsion balance instrument to measure the acceleration difference of beryllium and titanium test bodies towards sources at a variety of distances. Our result Delta a=(0.6+/-3.1)x10^-15 m/s^2 improves limits on equivalence-principle violations with ranges from 1 m to infinity by an order of magnitude. The Eoetvoes parameter is eta=(0.3+/-1.8)x10^-13. By analyzing our data for accelerations towards the center of the Milky Way we find equal attractions of Be and Ti towards galactic dark matter, yielding eta=(-4 +/- 7)x10^-5. Space-fixed differential accelerations in any direction are limited to less than 8.8x10^-15 m/s^2 with 95% confidence.
