Abstract

The MICROSCOPE experiment has set the best upper bound to date on the weak equivalence principle, proving Einstein’s postulate with an unprecedented precision, as explained by Principal Investigator Pierre Touboul and team members Manuel Rodrigues and Joel Bergé.

Summary

Introduction

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The MICROSCOPE experiment has set the best upper bound to date on the weak equivalence principle, proving Einstein’s postulate with an unprecedented precision, as explained by Principal Investigator Pierre Touboul and team members Manuel Rodrigues and Joel Bergé. The universality of free fall (UFF) has been extensively tested, with modern constraints arising from experiments in the laboratory with torsion pendulums[1] and comparisons of the fall of the Earth and the Moon around the Sun[2].
