Abstract

The GAUGE (GrAnd Unification and Gravity Explorer) mission proposes to use a drag-free spacecraft platform onto which a number of experiments are attached. They designed to address a number of key issues at the interface between gravity and unification with the forces of nature. The equivalence principle is to be probed with both a high-precision test using classical macroscopic test bodies, and, to lower precision, using microscopic test bodies via cold-atom interferometry. These two equivalence principle tests will explore string.dilaton theories and the effect of space-time fluctuations respectively.The macroscopic test bodies will also be used for intermediate-range inverse-square law and an axion-like spin-coupling search. The microscopic test bodies offer teh prospect of extending the range of tests to also include short-range inverse-square law and spin-coupling maesurements as well as looking for evidence of quantum decoherence due to space-time fluctuations at the Planck scale
