Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 3–6 (1986)Reanalysis of the Eoumltvös experimentReceived 7 November 1985; published in the issue dated 6 January 1986 We have carefully reexamined the results of the experiment of Eötvös, Pekár, and Fekete, which compared the accelerations of various materials to the Earth. We find that the Eötvös-Pekár-Fekete data are sensitive to the composition of the materials used, and that their results support the existence of an intermediate-range coupling to baryon number or hypercharge. © 1986 The American Physical Society URL:
