Phys. Rev. D 68, 124021 (2003) [13 pages]Probing submicron forces by interferometry of Bose-Einstein condensed atomsReceived 26 June 2003; published 24 December 2003 We propose a technique, using interferometry of Bose-Einstein condensed alkali atoms, for the detection of submicron-range forces. It may extend present searches at 1 micron by 6 to 9 orders of magnitude, deep into the theoretically interesting regime of 1000 times gravity. We give several examples of both four-dimensional particles (moduli), as well as higher-dimensional particles—vectors and scalars in a large bulk—that could mediate forces accessible by this technique. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
