Precision Gravity Tests with Cold Atom Interferometry
Prof. Dr. Guglielmo Tino (Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia and LENS Laboratory, Università di Firenze)


Experiments we are performing using atom interferometry to determine the gravitational constant G and test the Newtonian gravitational law at micrometric distances will be presented. Other experiments in progress, planned or being considered using atom interferometers in ground laboratories and in space will be also discussed.
