Experimental evidence for quantum gravity?

Description

A broad range of quantum field theories of gravity predict the existence of vector and scalar components of gravity in addition to the usual tensor component. These may produce effects observable at the classical level. We refer to experimental results suggestive of the appropriate effects and show that a clear, low-energy test of these theories may be made by measuring the gravitational acceleration of antiprotons in the Earth's field
