= Slava G. Turyshev
{c}
A <physicist> working on experimental tests of <gravity>. His joint work with <James G. Williams> and <Dale Boggs> uses <lunar laser ranging> to compare the ratios of <gravitational mass> to <inertial mass> for <Earth> and the <Moon>. The comparison probes the <equivalence principle> using bodies with different compositions and gravitational binding energies.<Lunar Laser Ranging Tests of the Equivalence Principle by James G. Williams and others>[Abstract and §1: weak and strong forms of the equivalence principle]{ref}
