  • Abstract
    7Li NMR is observed with 7LiCl in D2O using a Nicolet NT-360 NMR Spectrometer over a 3.5 month period. The linewidth is typically about 40 mHz. Fitting to a triple Lorentzian line shape gives the splitting Δf ≲ 2.2 mHz which is roughly 20 times better than previous experiments. This result puts a limit on mass anisotropy Δm /m and the nonuniversality |Hij − gij| of the gravitational coupling Hij to electromagnetism and the gravitational coupling gij, to particle mass as follows: δm/m < 2 × 10−24, Hμν − gμν | / U ≤ 10−13, | H − g | / U ≤ 10−8 ∼ 10−9, and | H00 − H00 | / U ≤ 10−5.
