| « MICROSCOPE Validated the Equivalence Principle to 10^-15 Accuracy Level » |
|
Manuel Rodrigues |
| The MICROSCOPE mission has recently revealed its latest data. After 16 years of development, 2 years of in orbit measurements and 3 years of data analysis, the science team demonstrates that Einstein theory can still rely on the Weak Equivalence Principle: there is no evidence of a violation of the WEP at 10^-15 level. This awesome accuracy was made possible thanks to a rigorous analysis of potential measurement errors. In the presentation, we will show how this result was achieved and how the pitfalls were solved. Going beyond is a new challenge that the team would like to take. |
