Experimental status of gravitational-strength forces in the sub-centimeter regime

We review the experimental constraints on additional macroscopic Yukawa forces for interaction ranges below 1 cm, and summarize several theoretical predictions of new forces in this region. An experiment using 1 kHz mechanical oscillators as test masses should be sensitive to much of the parameter s...

Summary:We review the experimental constraints on additional macroscopic Yukawa forces for interaction ranges below 1 cm, and summarize several theoretical predictions of new forces in this region. An experiment using 1 kHz mechanical oscillators as test masses should be sensitive to much of the parameter space covered by the predictions.
