On deviations from Newton's law and the proposal for a 'Fifth Force'
- 1. Instituto de Fisica Teorica, Sao Paulo (Brazil)
Description
The results of geophysical and laboratory measurements of Newton's constant of gravitation, seem to disagree by one percent. Attempts to explain this have led to the revival of the proposal for a fifth interaction in Nature. The experimental results on measurements of G and tests of Newton's inverse square law are reviewed. The recent reanalysis of the Eoetvoes experiment and proposals for new experiments are discussed.

Os resultados de medicoes geofisicas e de laboratorio da constante gravitacional de Newton, parecem discordar em cerca de um por cento. Tentativas de explicar isto tem levado a um renascimento da proposta de uma quinta interacao na Natureza. Os resultados experimentais de medicoes de G e testes da lei do inverso do quadrado de Newton, sao revistos. A recente analise da experiencia de Eoetvoes e propostas de novas experiencias, sao discutidas. (S.D.)Files
