Recent Experimental Progress on Probing Lorentz Violation in Pure Gravity for d = 6

Abstract

Short-range experiment with striped design of the test and source masses offers uniquely sensitive probes for Lorentz Violation. In our previous work, we proposed to combine the horizontally and vertically striped experiments to constrain the violating parameters. Here, we further point out adopting the vertically striped structure with the experimental setup placed at two azimuth angles, which has more experimental operability. For the experiment, we have completed the assembly and measurement of the torsion pendulum.
