Fifth force induced by a chameleon field on nested cylinders

Bergé, Joel; Pernot-Borràs, Martin; Uzan, Jean-Philippe +1 more

This article investigates the properties of a scalar fifth force that arises in a scalar tensor-theory with a chameleon screening mechanism in the context of gravity space missions like the MICROSCOPE experiment. In such an experiment, the propagation of the chameleon field inside the nested cylinders of the experiment causes a fifth force when th…
