Constraints on non-Newtonian gravity from the Casimir force measurements between two crossed cylinders

Abstract

Constraints on the Yukawa-type corrections to Newtonian gravitational law are obtained resulting from the measurement of the Casimir force between two crossed cylinders. The new constraints are stronger than those previously derived in the interaction range between 1.5 nm and 11 nm. The maximal strengthening in 300 times is achieved at 4.26 nm. Possible applications of the obtained results to the elementary particle physics are discussed.
