Scientific paper

We show that the energies of atomic states can depend strongly on an atom's orientation in space according to theories of gravity which couple the antisymmetric part of a nonsymmetric-tensor gravitational field to the electromagnetic field. Atomic-physics experiments designed to test the isotropy of space are directly sensitive to such orientation dependence. We derive a new constraint that these experiments impose on nonsymmetric theories and show how this constraint works with existing ones to establish that the magnitude of effects due to an antisymmetric-tensor component of the gravitational field must be more than 1000 times smaller than suggested in the recent literature on nonsymmetric theories.
