Interest has focussed recently on low energy implications of a nontrivial scale invariant sector of an effective field theory with an IR fixed point, manifest in terms of ``unparticles'' with peculiar properties. If unparticle stuff exists…
In the gravitational sector, we study the CPT violation and birefringence of gravitational waves. In presence of the CPT violation, a relative dephasing is generated between two circular polarization states of gravitational waves. This…
We describe an experimental search for deviations from the inverse square law of gravity at the nanometer length scale using neutron scattering from noble gases on a pulsed slow neutron beamline. By measuring the neutron momentum transfer…

Gravitational decays in particle physics are expected to violate the B and L quantum numbers. In the standard theory, where gravity is weak because of the huge value of Planck mass, the observation of the phenomenon is far from present and…

We rewrite the Klein-Gordon (KG) equation in an arbitrary space-time transforming it into a generalized Schr\"odinger equation. Then we take the weak field limit and show that this equation has some differences with the traditional…
This document briefly reviews recent short-range gravity experiments that were performed at below laboratory scales to test the Newtonian inverse square law of gravity. To compare sensitivities of these measurements, estimates using the…
The gravitational inverse square law is microscopic approximation. I suggest that it should be modified for elementary particles to use the surface-to-surface separation of the particles rather than the center-to-center separations. For…
On the basis of the relativistic mass-energy concept we found that a proper mass of a test particle in a gravitational field depends on a potential energy, hence, a freely falling particle has a varying proper mass. Consequently, a…
In this Chapter we illustrate the close connection between the violation of the weak equivalence principle typical of gravitational interactions at finite temperature, and similar violations induced by a breaking of the local Lorentz…
