Casimir and short-range gravity tests

Comparison with theory of Casimir force measurements are used to test the gravity force law at ranges from 0.1 to 10 micrometers. The interest of such tests depends crucially on the theoretical evaluation of the Casimir force in realistic experimental configurations. We present the scattering approach which is nowadays the best tool for such an evaluation. We then describe the current status of the comparisons between theory and experiments.

Dark Matter Axions, Non-Newtonian Gravity and Constraints on Them from Recent Measurements of the Casimir Force in the Micrometer Separation Range

We consider axionlike particles as the most probable constituents of dark matter, the Yukawa-type corrections to Newton’s gravitational law and constraints on their parameters following from…

NEW CONSTRAINTS ON YUKAWA-TYPE INTERACTIONS FROM THE CASIMIR EFFECT

Measurements of the Casimir force are used to obtain stronger constraints on the parameters of hypothetical interactions predicted in different unification schemes beyond the Standard Model. We…

Tests of chameleon gravity

The present state-of-the-art searches for screened scalars coupled to matter are summarized, and the current bounds on f(R) models that exhibit the chameleon mechanism are translated into a single parametrization to survey the state of the models.

Disformal theories of gravity: from the solar system to cosmology

This paper is concerned with theories of gravity that contain a scalar coupled both conformally and disformally to matter through the metric. By systematically deriving the non-relativistic limit, it…

A compendium of chameleon constraints

The chameleon model is a scalar field theory with a screening mechanism that explains how a cosmologically relevant light scalar can avoid the constraints of intra-solar-system searches for…

Multipolar scattering expansion for the Casimir effect in the sphere-plane geometry.

We evaluate the Casimir interaction between a sphere and a plane, at arbitrary temperature, accounting for imperfect reflection. This enables us to study the rich dependance of the Casimir effect on…

Casimir force between partially transmitting mirrors

The Casimir force can be understood as resulting from the radiation pressure exerted by the vacuum fluctuations reflected by boundaries. We extend this local formulation to the case of partially…
