In the recent work [1], it was claimed that networks of quantum sensors can be used as sensitive multi-messenger probes of astrophysical phenomena that produce intense bursts of relativistic bosonic waves which interact non-gravitationally with ordinary matter. The most promising possibility considered in [1] involved clock-based searches for quadratic scalar-type interactions, with greatly diminished reach in the case of magnetometer-based searches for derivative-pseudoscalar-type interactions…

In this paper, we study the local observational consequences of a violation of the Einstein Equivalence Principle induced by models of light scalar Dark Matter (DM). We focus on two different models…
New bounds on macroscopic scalar-field topological defects from nontransient signatures due to environmental dependence and spatial variations of the fundamental constants

We point out that in models of macroscopic topological defects composed of one or more scalar fields that interact with standard-model fields via scalar-type couplings, the back-action of ambient…
Tests of chameleon gravity
- PhysicsLiving reviews in relativity

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.

In the scalar-tensor theories with a massive scalar field the coupling constants, and the coupling functions in general, which are observationally allowed, can differ significantly from those in the…

A screening mechanism that allows a scalar field to mediate a long-range force of gravitational strength in the cosmos while satisfying local tests of gravity and predicting deviations from general relativity in the solar system that are within reach of next-generation experiments, as well as astrophysically observable violations of the equivalence principle.
