Constraint on intermediate-range gravity from earth-satellite and lunar orbiter measurements, and lunar laser ranging
In the experimental tests of gravity, there have been considerable interests
in the possibility of intermediate-range gravity. In this paper, we use the
earth-satellite measurement of earth gravity, the lunar orbiter measurement of
lunar gravity, and lunar laser ranging measurement to constrain the
intermediate-range gravity from lambda=1.2*10^{7}m - 3.8*10^{8}m. The limits
for this range are alpha=10^{-8}-5*10^{-8}, which improve previous limits by
about one order of magnitude in the range lambda=1.2*10^{7}m-3.8*10^{8}m.Comment: 8 pages, International Journal of Modern Physics D, in press (World
