A Fourier-Bessel Test of the Gravitational Inverse-Square Law ©Copyright 2020 John G. Lee A Fourier-Bessel Test of the Gravitational Inverse-Square Law John G. Lee A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Blayne Heckel, Chair Eric Adelberger, Chair Andreas Karch Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Physics University of Washington Abstract A Fourier-Bessel Test of the Gravitational Inverse-Square Law John G. Lee Co-Chairs of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Blayne Heckel Department of Physics Professor Eric Adelberger Department of Physics This dissertation presents the latest Eöt-Wash group test of the gravitiational Inverse Square Law (ISL) at the shortest possible distances using a stationary torsion pendulum above a rotating attractor. It largely builds off of earlier Fourier-Bessel work of Ted19 Cook[ ] that utilized test-masses with both 18-fold and 120-fold azimuthal symmetries. In this case, the effective masses of the platinum test bodies of the 18- and 120-fold patterns onthe pendulum were 0.21 and 0.62 mg. We tested the ISL at separations ranging from 52µm to 3mm. We have excluded at 95% confidence gravitational strength Yukawa interactions with length scales λ > 39µm and set new limits between λ = 8µm and 90µm. We have resolved gravitational interactions at the closest separations ever and measured a new systematic arising from the magnetic susceptibilities of our test-mass materials. We present a full description of the instrument, the analysis methods, and the results.
