Weak interactions and Eotvos experimentsA current-current model for weak interactions is used to show that the weak-interaction contribution to the ground-state energies of typical nuclei is about one part in 100 million of their rest masses. By comparing this contribution with the results of recent versions of the Eotvos experiments, it is concluded that weak-interaction energies obey the principle of equivalence to better than one part in 100, thus refuting claims that those experiments did not test weak-interaction effects.
