Superconducting-Gravimeter Tests of Local Lorentz Invariance

Phys Rev Lett. 2017 Nov 17;119(20):201101. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.119.201101. Epub 2017 Nov 16.

Abstract

Superconducting-gravimeter measurements are used to test the local Lorentz invariance of the gravitational interaction and of matter-gravity couplings. The best laboratory sensitivities to date are achieved via a maximum-reach analysis for 13 Lorentz-violating operators, with some improvements exceeding an order of magnitude.
