Sagnac interferometry and non-Newtonian gravity

摘要

Sagnac interferometry has been employed in the context of gravity as a proposal for the detection of the so called gravitomagnetic effect. In the present work we explore the possibilities that this experimental device could open up in the realm of non-Newtonian gravitation. It will be shown that this experimental approach allows us to explore an interval of values of the range of the new force that up to now remains unexplored, namely, lambda greater than or equal to 10(14) m.
