Abstract: | Equivalence principle tests are probes for new fundamental physics. We have conducted several laboratory experiments to test the equivalence principle with unprecedented precision and generality using a torsion balance placed on a continuously rotating turntable. We present preliminary results comparing the differential accelerations of Ti, Be, and Al towards local masses, the earth and the center of our galaxy. |
