A new generation of absolute gravimeters
TL;DR: The design improvements incorporated in a new generation of absolute gravimeters, the FG5, have led to an instrumental uncertainty estimate of 1,1 × 10-8 m s-2 (1,0 μGal).

New Experimental Test of Coulomb's Law: A Laboratory Upper Limit on the Photon Rest Mass
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-frequency test of Coulomb's law is described in terms of a finite photon rest mass using the Proca equations, and the sensitivity of the experiment is given in the form of the photon rest masses squared.

TL;DR: In this article, a specific study of design questions related to the operation of retroreflectors on the lunar surface indicated that a reflector panel containing a number of solid fused silica corner reflectors would be capable of maintaining essentially diffraction limited performance under direct solar illumination.

A Portable Apparatus for Absolute Measurements of the Earth's Gravity
TL;DR: In this paper, the acceleration of a freely falling cube corner is determined using the free fall method, and the results of extensive tests indicate that the achievable accuracy for g is about six parts in 109.

A Free-Fall Determination of the Newtonian Constant of Gravity
TL;DR: In this paper, an experiment that uses the gravity field of a one-half metric ton source mass to perturb the trajectory of a free-falling mass and laser interferometry to track the falling object was performed.
