Equivalence principle in the nonbaryonic regime

Abstract
We consider the empirical validity of the equivalence principle for nonbaryonic matter. Working in the context of the THεμ formalism, we evaluate the constraints experiments place on parameters associated with violation of the equivalence principle (EVP’s) over as wide a sector of the standard model as possible. Specific examples include new parameter constraints which arise from torsion balance experiments, gravitational redshift, variation of the fine structure constant, time-dilation measurements, and matter-antimatter experiments. We find several new bounds on EVP’s in the leptonic and kaon sectors.
