Experimental Search for New Fundamental Forces

博因顿教授目前正在进行一系列的 实验检测可能的成分依赖力 中间范围。 这种新的基本相互作用， 在一定范围内， 250米。 他的乐器，除了灵敏之外， 简单、便携、而且相当便宜。 他打算实现 从一个到三个数量级的减少， 系统和统计不确定性， 运营战略是他的直接延伸， 目前的工作。 这种测量能力的提高将 允许朝着解决歧义迈出重要的一步， 目前掩盖了一个新的成分依赖的存在， 互动 他的仪器的便携性使得 在不同地点进行实验室和现场实验。

Professor Boynton is currently carrying out a series of experiments to detect a possible composition-dependent force of intermediate range. Such a new fundamental interaction, would have a strength less than 0.01% of gravity for a range of 250 m. His instrument, in addition to being sensitive is simple, portable, and quite inexpensive. He intends to achieve from one to three orders of magnitude reduction in both systematic and statistical uncertainty using design and operation strategies that are straightforward extensions of his current work. This improvement in measurement capability will allow a significant step toward resolving ambiguities that currently shroud the existence of a new composition-dependent interaction. The portability of his instrument enables both laboratory and field experiments at a variety of sites.
