Start of the “fifth force” hypothesis at early 70th
Some experiments had found a difference between space measured constant GN and lab measured constant G0
• Geophysical measurements results in GN > G0

• Lab. measurements: Long D.R. Phys.Rev.D9, 850, (1974) ; Nature 260, 417, 1976
• Re-examination of Eotvos experiment data
Fischbach E. et.al. Phys.Rev.Lett. 56,(n1), 3-6, 1986
.we find that the Eotvos-Pekar-Fekete data are sensitive to the compositionof the materials used, and that their results support the existence of an intermediate-range coupling to baryon number or hypercharge…”
V(r) = VN(r) + V(r)
Gravity law phenomenology
T.D.Lee, C.N. Yang, Phys.Rev. 98,1501, (1955). Lee, Yang –were the first speculating that the conservation of baryon number B was associated with a vector field coupled to B and had given limits derived fromknown EP experimental tests: the matter is –(additional to gravity) scalar or vector interactions violate EP, so as they couple toa specific “hypercharge” (q) not masses of test bodies equivalent potential and acceleration of body (1) toward an attractor (A)

G metrology is very bad !

Metrological uncertainty of G measurements
Cavendish type measurement at range 1m < r < 1000 m using GW detectors as very sensitive gradiometers:
One - as a dynamically driven source of alternative g-field; Second - as a sensitive receiver
with sensitivity x ~ 10-17 cm, τ ~ 3 10-4 sec
it would be able to achieve G/G ~ 0.1% at the distances up to r ~100 m.

Sub-millimeter tests of ISL (1mm – 50 m)
It is a new experimental idea was proposed:
to adapt the “Cavendish type” experiment for “short interaction distances” it is profitable to deal with “lost test masses” (!), i.e. to use torsion balances with “holes instead of balls”. A simplest construction is two plane gravitating discs with bored holes.
Several versions of the setup were developed by Eot-Wash group for to probe ISL at 1mm –10 mkm
one rotation cycle at produces the torque harmonic at N, N – number of holes along disc circle (folds), 2N , etc.
first version (2004) with n = 10
second version (2009) with n=21
Adelberger et.al. experiments
attractor consists two discs;
more thick lower one has a phase shift in the hole structure;
this allows to compensate the classical Newtonian force for a definite gap between discs (~ 2 mm at the picture) in the first harmonic ….
just in this region a sensitivity to Yukawa forces has a maximum

Results:- the new limit Yukawa forces below 20 m
the best bound: || > 14 000 at = 10 m
At the range 1 m – 10 m electromagnetic field vacuum fluctuation screens the Newton gravitational attraction: one has to measure the Casimir force.

Conclusions:
up to the distance on the order of few micrometers experiment confirms Newtonian ISL for gravitational interaction with high confidential limit
Thus a range of extra dimensions (if they exist) has to be less then 1 km
Further search for extra dimensions (if continues) will not be associated with a measurement of gravitational forces
Thanks for attention.
