Abstract
New Short-Range Tests of Gravity was a project that explored theoretical physics at an advanced level for undergraduate research students. Our goal was to reach a new modified signal for the Newtonian Potential Energy between two masses with the hope of leading to the possible use of a new formula for Lorentz Violations in short-range gravity tests. Over both the 2021-2022 school year and the beginning of Fall 2022, members conducted and solved equations relevant to them in obtaining the Newtonian Potential. Janessa has studied and worked on deriving as well as manipulating the field equations to which Jennifer uses in solving equations for the weak-gravity Newtonian limit and producing the signal for a modified formula. A paper on the work of New Short-Range Tests of Gravity has been published in Classical and Quantum Gravity in January 2023. *This work was supported by the NASA Space Grant during the 2021-2022 school year provided by the Undergraduate Research Institute based at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott. It is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation which supported this research prior to that of URI.
