General relativity and experiment: A brief review
Abstract
The review concentrates on existing experimental tests of general relativity. Several solar system experiments are presently in development (GPS, POINTS, etc.), and a significant part of the efforts in the field of experimental gravitation is devoted to the construction of detectors of gravitational radiation (notably large interferometric detectors, GEO, LIGO, VIRGO, etc.).
