Mapping the Weak-Field Limit of Scalar-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity
arXiv:2210.10955 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.107.044006
Abstract
We derive the weak field limit of scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory and place novel bounds on the parameter space using terrestrial and space-based experiments. In order to analyze the theory in the context of a wide range of experiments, we compute the deviations from Einstein gravity around source masses with planar, cylindrical, and spherical symmetry. We find a correction to the Newtonian potential around spherical and cylindrical sources that can be larger than PPN corrections sufficiently close to the source. We use this to improve on laboratory constraints on the scalar-Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter by two orders of magnitude. Present laboratory and Solar System bounds reported here are superseded by tests deriving from black holes.
