Short-Range Tests of the Gravitational Inverse-Square Law
Abstract
Experimental constraints on the gravitational inverse-square law at short range are presented, employing a consistent formalism across a wide range of length scales. We provide comprehensive updates incorporating new experimental data from the past decade - spanning tabletop forces, Casimir measurements, slow neutron scattering, and collider searches - building upon our previous review. This work facilitates the direct comparison of experimental results with theoretical models that extend general relativity. Furthermore, a comparison between various model parametrizations, including extra-dimensional models, is introduced. Finally, results from tabletop experiments are compared with those from high-energy collider experiments for both Yukawa and power-law potentials.
