Constraining the attractive fifth force in the general free scalar–tensor gravity with solar system experiments

Abstract In this paper, we focus on the general free scalar–tensor gravity with three free coupling functions, which in the near-field region looks like general relativity (GR) plus a fifth force of Yukawa-type induced by the scalar field. We show that the fifth force is always attractive in the the...
