Abstract

We report the latest results of searching for possible new macro-scale spin-spin-velocity-dependent forces (SSVDFs) based on specially designed iron-shielded SmCo5_5 (ISSC) spin sources and a spin exchange relaxation free (SERF) co-magnetometer. The ISSCs have high net electron spin densities of about 1.7×10211.7\times 10^{21} cm3^{-3}, which mean high detecting sensitivity; and low magnetic field leakage of about \simmG level due to iron shielding, which means low detecting noise. With help from the ISSCs, the high sensitivity SERF co-magnetometer, and the similarity analysis method, new constraints on SSVDFs with forms of V6+7V_{6+7}, V8V_8, V15V_{15}, and V16V_{16} have been obtained, which represent the tightest limits in force range of 5 cm -- 1 km to the best of our knowledge.
