Description

Constraints for the constants of hypothetical Yukawa-type corrections to the Newtonian gravitational potential are obtained from analysis of neutron scattering experiments. Restrictions are obtained for the interaction range between 10-12 and 10-7 cm, where Casimir-force experiments and atomic-force microscopy are not sensitive. Experimental limits are obtained also for non-electromagnetic inverse-power-law neutron-nucleus potentials. Some possibilities are discussed to strengthen these constraints

Abstract (Russian)

Из анализа экспериментов по рассеянию нейтронов получены ограничения на константу взаимодействия типа Юкавы как гипотетической поправки к ньютоновскому гравитационному потенциалу. Ограничения получены для радиуса взаимодействия между 10-12 и 10-7 см, где эксперименты по измерению сил Казимира, а также методы атомной силовой микроскопии не чувствительны. Получены также экспериментальные ограничения на величину неэлектромагнитных степенных нейтрон-ядерных потенциалов. Обсуждены некоторые возможности усиления этих ограничений
