Phys. Rev. D 40, 1735–1740 (1989)Testing the inverse-square law of gravity: Error and design with the upward continuation integralReceived 27 December 1988; published in the issue dated 15 September 1989 It has been reported that the inverse-square law of gravity is violated over a range of a few hundred meters. I present a different method for the analysis of the data from that experiment. In this method, the experimental error can be evaluated analytically and I confirm the previous analysis but show that it is a 2σ effect. The method can also be used to design new experiments that will yield minimum errors for a fixed number of data points. © 1989 The American Physical Society URL:
