Newton : pendulumcomposed of wood, gold, silver,lead, etc. Equivalence of inertial
and gravitational mass ~10-3. Later experiments, ~10-5.

Roland von Eotvos (1848-1919):used torsion balance (1889,1908) to demonstrateequivalence to ~10-9. Used rotation of Earthto provide non-gravitationalforce (as opposed to string inpendulum).
![Page 10: Dark Matter and the Equivalence Principle](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151e2550346895dc01b3f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Weak equivalence principle:All masses are accelerated the same wayin a gravitational field.
Einstein: motion of freely-falling particles aresame in gravitational field and uniformlyaccelerated frame
Einstein equivalence principle: laws of physicsare same in any freely falling frame
Central underpinning of general relativity
![Page 11: Dark Matter and the Equivalence Principle](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151e2550346895dc01b3f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Further improvements (~1960-1970)(Dicke et al., Braginsky et al…..)
Replaced Earth’s g by Sun’s g and Earth’s rotationby its orbit around Sun. Achieved ~10-12.
Different elements have different(binding energy)/(mass), sohave tested equivalence of freefall for electromagnetic energyand for strong interactions
![Page 12: Dark Matter and the Equivalence Principle](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151e2550346895dc01b3f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Munich (1975): Free fall of freeneutrons to ~10-4.
![Page 13: Dark Matter and the Equivalence Principle](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151e2550346895dc01b3f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What about gravitational bindingenergy?Strong equivalence principle: Gravitationalbinding energy falls the same way in agravitational field……satisfied by GR,but not some alternatives (e.g., scalar-tensortheories)
![Page 14: Dark Matter and the Equivalence Principle](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151e2550346895dc01b3f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Nordtvedt effect (1968):
If SEP violated, Moon and Earthfall differently in Sun’s gravitationalfield, affecting Moon-Earth orbit.Tested by lunar laser ranging.
![Page 15: Dark Matter and the Equivalence Principle](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151e2550346895dc01b3f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
But what about dark matter?So far, all tests have been for g fields dueto baryons and test masses made of baryons
Stubbs (1991): Eotvos-like data correlated with Milky Way---different terrestrialmaterials fall similarly in g field due partly(~50%) to dark matter. I.e., baryon-DM forceis still
![Page 16: Dark Matter and the Equivalence Principle](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151e2550346895dc01b3f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
But does dark matter fall same wayin gravitational field? Does the force law,
hold for dark matter as well? And if how would we know?
![Page 17: Dark Matter and the Equivalence Principle](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151e2550346895dc01b3f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Usual DM tracers (e.g., rotation curves,lensing) probe DM mass distribution only.If Gdm were different, could scale velocitydistribution, in accordance with virial theorem,to self-consistently obtain same massdistribution.
![Page 18: Dark Matter and the Equivalence Principle](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151e2550346895dc01b3f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Is Gdm=G? Why bother asking?
•Curiosity….a fundamental prediction of GR•Cosmic acceleration suggests gravity may be more complicated than we thought and/or that there may be new long-range interaction associated with newscalar fields•E.g., new 1/r2 force law for DM introduced in stringtheories (Gubser, Peebles, Farrar)•Has been suggested to account for voids (Peebles,Gubser, Nusser), requiring new force law comparablein strength to gravity•May occur in “chameleon” DM theories (Khoury, Mota, Shaw…)

E.g., if is scalar field with coupling to(fermionic) DM particle through Yukawainteraction, , leads to additionaldm-dm static potential,

How can we measure Gdm?
Frieman-Gradwohl (1992): galactic halos in clusterswould appear “heavier” in dynamical measurements, but effect degenerate with massMainini-Bonometto (2006): discussed baryon lossfrom clusters, but is nasty
We considered: galaxies and their DM halos wouldbe accelerated differently in cluster, giving rise torelative acceleration between galaxy and its halo. Ifstrong enough, galaxy would get stripped from halo.But is nasty theoretically/observationally.
![Page 21: Dark Matter and the Equivalence Principle](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151e2550346895dc01b3f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Instead, consider tidal streams of Sagittarius dwarf:•Sgr is DM dominated so acts as DM tracer of MilkyWay potential, while stripped stars act as baryonictracers.•Streams are long-lived and now well-observed with2MASS and SDSS•Detailed simulations compared with observationsalready provide remarkably precise constraints to Sgrmass, M/L, orbit, and Milky Way halo (e.g., Law,Johnston, Majewski 2005)

Where do tidal streams come from?
![Page 24: Dark Matter and the Equivalence Principle](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151e2550346895dc01b3f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What we anticipated: Orbits of streams with EP-violation would differ from those without….
What we found, is different, more striking, and inretrospect, easily understandable:
If Gdm > G, DM halo of Sgr accelerated toward MWmore strongly than stellar Sgr. Stars in Sgr are thusdisplaced to larger MW radii, and thus leak out of Sgrat apocenter only from the far side, and not the near side,leading to a trailing tail, but no leading tail.
![Page 25: Dark Matter and the Equivalence Principle](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151e2550346895dc01b3f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Simulations:
•Modified GADGET-2 to include different Gdm
•Include active disk, bulge, halo•Initial conditions from GALACTICS (Dubinski-Widrow)•Use same mass distn for Sgr DM and stars•300,000 particles, 10K each for bulge and disk,80K for halo, and 200K for satellite•Runs for several orbits on CITA cluster

Conclusions• Sgr tidal streams provide lab for testing 1/r2 force law
for dark matter• Stronger force law for DM leads to depletion of leading
tidal stream of Sgr dwarf• Such an effect difficult to mimic by changing Sgr, MW
masses, orbital parameters, etc.• Conservative “by-eye” comparison with observation of
roughly equal leading and trailing stream constrains DM force law to be within ~10% of that for baryons
• Estimate ~1% sensitivity with more detailed comparisons of data with model
