Constraining symmetron fields with atom interferometry
arXiv:1609.09275 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2016/12/041
Abstract
We apply the new constraints from atom-interferometry searches for screening mechanisms to the symmetron model, finding that these experiments exclude a previously unexplored region of parameter space. We discuss the possibility of networks of domain walls forming in the vacuum chamber, and how this could be used to discriminate between models of screening.
