Ground measurements of the gravitational redshift questioned:re-establishing the physical bases

Anna M. Nobili, Alberto Anselmi

Motivated by alleged inconsistencies in the scientific and educational literature, Asenbaum, Overstreet and Kasevich (2024; https://doi.org/10.1088/1402-4896/ad340c) aim to clarify…

On the first test of the Weak Equivalence Principle in low Earth orbit

Anna M. Nobili, Alberto Anselmi

The Weak Equivalence Principle is the founding pillar of General Relativity and as such it should be verified as precisely as possible. The Microscope experiment tested it in low E…

Systematic errors in high-precision gravity measurements by light-pulse atom interferometry on the ground and in space

Anna M. Nobili, Alberto Anselmi, Raffaello Pegna

We focus on the fact that light-pulse atom interferometers measure the atoms' acceleration with only three data points per drop. As a result, the measured effect of the gravity gra…

Testing the Equivalence Principle in space after the MICROSCOPE mission

Anna M. Nobili, Alberto Anselmi

Tests of the Weak Equivalence Principle can reveal a new, composition dependent, force of nature or disprove many models of new physics. For the first time such a test is successfu…

Relevance of the weak equivalence principle and experiments to test it: lessons from the past and improvements expected in space

Anna M. Nobili, Alberto Anselmi

Tests of the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) probe the foundations of physics. Ever since Galileo in the early 1600s, WEP tests have attracted some of the best experimentalists of…

Do general relativistic effects limit experiments to test the universality of free fall and the weak equivalence principle?

Anna M. Nobili

The Universality of Free Fall and the Weak Equivalence Principle, which are at the basis of General Relativity, have been confirmed to 1 part in 10^13. Space experiments with macro…
