Description
We present an analysis of the anomalous gravitational attraction found in the Greenland icesheet experiment. If the anomalous gradient is due to the existence of a single new, attractive, force, then the force has a range between 225 m and 5.40 km and a coupling constant between 2.4% and 3.5% that of newtonian gravity, with a best fit of about 805 m and 3.1%, respectively. From our procedure, the chi-squared analysis describing the quality of any fit to parameter values can be immediately scaled if a fraction of the gravitational anomaly is actually due to density anomalies in the bedrock.
