Description
Investigating potential deviations from Newtonian gravity provides a vital pathway toward discovering "new physics" beyond the Standard Model. This study introduces an experimental approach to search for inverse-square-law (ISL) violations at the meter scale by utilizing a laser-interferometric gravitational-wave detector with gravity field calibrators (GCal). The GCal employs rotating multipole masses to exert a dynamic gravitational field on the detector’s end test mass, allowing for a precise evaluation of the gravity field gradient. By testing the null hypothesis within this configuration, the proposed setup aims to constrain the Yukawa coupling strength which potentially surpassing the current experimental limits.
