Testing gravity at the Second post-Newtonian level through gravitational deflection of massive particles

Abstract

Expression for second post-Newtonian level gravitational deflection angle of massive particles is obtained in a model independent framework. Several of its important implications including the possibility of testing gravitational theories at that level are discussed.
