Gravitational Hertz experiment with electromagnetic radiation in a strong magnetic field

Brief review of principal ideas in respect of the high frequency gravitational radiation generated and detected in the laboratory condition is presented. Interaction of electro-magnetic and gravitational waves into a strong magnetic field is considered as a more promising variant of the laboratory GW-Hertz experiment. The formulae of the direct and inverse Gertsenshtein-Zeldovich effect are derived. Numerical estimates are given and a discussion of a possibility of observation of these effects in a lab is carried out.

Test of inverse square law through precession of orbits

Using precession of orbits due to non-Newtonian interaction between two celestial bodies and modern tracking data of satellites, planets and a pulsar we obtain new more precise limits on possible Yukawa-type deviations from the Newton law in planets (satellites)radii ranges.

Measurement of the gravitational constant $G$ in space (Project SEE): sensitivity to orbital parameters and space charge effect

We describe some new estimates concerning the recently proposed SEE (Satellite Energy Exchange) experiment for measuring the gravitational interaction parameters in space. The experiment entails precision tracking of the relative motion of two test bodies (a heavy "Shepherd", and a light "Particle") on board a drag-free space capsule. The new estimates include (i) the sensitivity of Particle trajectories and G measurement to the Shepherd quadrupole moment uncertainties; (ii) the measurement errors of G and the strength of a putative Yukawa-type force whose range parameter λmay be either of the order of a few meters or close to the Earth radius; (iii) a possible effect of the Van Allen radiation belts on the SEE experiment due to test body electric charging. The main conclusions are that (i) the SEE concept may allow one to measure G with an uncertainty smaller than 10^{-7} and a progress up to 2 orders of magnitude is possible in the assessment of the hypothetic Yukawa forces and (ii) van Allen charging of test bodies is a problem of importance but it may be solved by the existing methods.

On Possible Measurement of Gravitational Interaction Parameters on Board a Satellite

The recently suggested SEE (Satellite Energy Exchange) method of measuring the gravitational constant $G$, possible equivalence principle violation (measured by the Eötvös parameter $η$) and the hypothetic 5th force parameters $α$ and $λ$ on board a drag-free Earth's satellite is discussed and further developed. Various particle trajectories near a heavy ball are numerically simulated. Some basic sources of error are analysed. The $G$ measurement procedure is modelled by noise insertion to a ``true'' trajectory. It is concluded that the present knowledge of $G, α$ (for $λ\geq 1$ m) and $η$ can be improved by at least two orders of magnitude.
