Abstract

An experimental test of the Newtonian inverse square law at short range has been used to set limits on Lorentz violation in the pure gravity sector of the Standard-Model Extension. On account of the planar test mass geometry, nominally null with respect to 1/r2 forces, the limits derived for the SME coefficients of Lorentz violation are on the order sJK ∼ 104.
