Dilaton Solutions for Laboratory Constraints and Lunar Laser Ranging
Abstract
We derive approximate analytical solutions to the environment-dependent dilaton field theory equations in the presence of a one or two mirror system or a sphere. The one-dimensional equations of motion are integrated for each system. The solutions obtained herein can be applied to qBOUNCE experiments, neutron interferometry and for the calculation of the dilaton field induced "Casimir force" in the Cannex experiment as well as for Lunar Laser Ranging. They are typical of the Damour-Polyakov screening mechanism whereby deviations from General Relativity are suppressed by a vanishingly small direct coupling of the dilaton to matter in dense environments.
