MICROSCOPE's view at gravitation

J Bergé - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The weak equivalence principle (WEP) is the cornerstone of general relativity (GR). Testing
it is thus a natural way to confront GR to experiments, which has been pursued for four …

Experimental perspectives on the matter–antimatter asymmetry puzzle: developments in electron EDM and experiments

D Comparat, C Malbrunot… - … of the Royal …, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In the search for clues to the matter–antimatter puzzle, experiments with atoms or molecules
play a particular role. These systems allow measurements with very high precision, as …

Fifteen years of cold matter on the atom chip: promise, realizations, and prospects

M Keil, O Amit, S Zhou, D Groswasser… - Journal of modern …, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Here we review the field of atom chips in the context of Bose–Einstein Condensates (BEC)
as well as cold matter in general. Twenty years after the first realization of the BEC and 15 …

Lorentz and tests with hydrogen, antihydrogen, and related systems

VA Kostelecký, AJ Vargas - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
The potential of precision spectroscopy as a tool in systematic searches for effects of Lorentz
and CPT violation is investigated. Systems considered include hydrogen, antihydrogen …

Searches for beyond-Riemann gravity

VA Kostelecký, Z Li - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Many effective field theories describing gravity cannot arise from an underlying theory based
on Riemann geometry or its extensions to include torsion and nonmetricity but may instead …

Lorentz and tests with clock-comparison experiments

VA Kostelecký, AJ Vargas - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
Clock-comparison experiments are among the sharpest existing tests of Lorentz symmetry in
matter. We characterize signals in these experiments arising from modifications to electron …

Gravity, antimatter and the Dirac-Milne universe

G Chardin, G Manfredi - Hyperfine Interactions, 2018 - Springer
We review the main arguments against antigravity, a different acceleration of antimatter
relative to matter in a gravitational field, discussing and challenging Morrison's, Good's and …

Physics with antihydrogen

WA Bertsche, E Butler, M Charlton… - Journal of Physics B …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Performing measurements of the properties of antihydrogen, the bound state of an
antiproton and a positron, and comparing the results with those for ordinary hydrogen, has …

Ultracold anions for high-precision antihydrogen experiments

G Cerchiari, A Kellerbauer, MS Safronova… - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
Experiments with antihydrogen (H¯) for a study of matter-antimatter symmetry and antimatter
gravity require ultracold H¯ to reach ultimate precision. A promising path towards antiatoms …

The standard-model extension and gravitational tests

JD Tasson - Symmetry, 2016 - mdpi.com
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 …
