MICROSCOPE mission: final results of the test of the Equivalence Principle

Pierre Touboul, Gilles Métris, Manuel Rodrigues +44

The MICROSCOPE mission was designed to test the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP), stating the equality between the inertial and the gravitational masses, with a precision of $10^{-…

Solving nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations on unbounded domains via the Finite Element Method

Hugo Lévy, Joël Bergé, Jean-Philippe Uzan

A large class of scalar-tensor theories of gravity exhibit a screening mechanism that dynamically suppresses fifth forces in the Solar system and local laboratory experiments. Tech…

MICROSCOPE's constraint on a short-range fifth force

Joel Bergé, Martin Pernot-Borràs, Jean-Philippe Uzan +5

The MICROSCOPE experiment was designed to test the weak equivalence principle in space, by comparing the low-frequency dynamics of cylindrical "free-falling" test masses controlled…

MICROSCOPE mission: Data analysis principle

Joel Bergé, Quentin Baghi, Emilie Hardy +10

After performing highly sensitive acceleration measurements during two years of drag-free flight around the Earth, MICROSCOPE provided the best constraint on the Weak Equivalence P…

MICROSCOPE mission analysis, requirements and expected performance

Pierre Touboul, Manuel Rodrigues, Gilles Métris +16

The MICROSCOPE mission aimed to test the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) to a precision of . The WEP states that two bodies fall at the same rate on a gravitational fiel…

A general study of chameleon fifth force in gravity space experiments

Martin Pernot-Borràs, Joel Bergé, Philippe Brax +1

This article investigates the profile of the scalar field of a scalar-tensor theory subject to the chameleon mechanism in the context of gravity space missions like the MICROSCOPE…

Interpretation of geodesy experiments in non-Newtonian theories of gravity

Joel Bergé, Philippe Brax, Martin Pernot-Borràs +1

The tests of the deviations from Newton's or Einstein's gravity in the Earth neighbourhood are tied to our knowledge of the shape and mass distribution of our planet. On the one ha…

MICROSCOPE mission: first constraints on the violation of the weak equivalence principle by a light scalar dilaton

Joel Bergé, Philippe Brax, Gilles Métris +3

The existence of a light or massive scalar field with a coupling to matter weaker than gravitational strength is a possible source of violation of the weak equivalence principle. W…
