Result of the MICROSCOPE Weak Equivalence Principle test
Pierre Touboul, Gilles Métris, Manuel Rodrigues +44
The space mission MICROSCOPE dedicated to the test of the Equivalence Principle (EP) operated from April 25, 2016 until the deactivation of the satellite on October 16, 2018. In th…
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^{-…
Constraints on chameleon gravity from the measurement of the electrostatic stiffness of the MICROSCOPE mission accelerometers
Martin Pernot-Borràs, Joël Bergé, Philippe Brax +4
This article is dedicated to the use the MICROSCOPE mission's data to test chameleon theory of gravity. We take advantage of the technical sessions aimed to characterize the electr…
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…
Effects of a scalar fifth force on the dynamics of a charged particle as a new experimental design to test chameleon theories
Jean-Philippe Uzan, Martin Pernot-Borràs, Joel Bergé
This article describes the dynamics of a charge particle in a electromagnetic field in presence of a scalar fifth force. Focusing to the fifth force that would be induced by a cham…
Fifth force induced by a chameleon field on nested cylinders
Martin Pernot-Borràs, Joel Bergé, Philippe Brax +1
This article investigates the properties of a scalar fifth force that arises in a scalar tensor-theory with a chameleon screening mechanism in the context of gravity space missions…
The local dark sector. Probing gravitation's low-acceleration frontier and dark matter in the Solar System neighborhood
Joel Bergé, Laura Baudis, Philippe Brax +18
We speculate on the development and availability of new innovative propulsion techniques in the 2040s, that will allow us to fly a spacecraft outside the Solar System (at 150 AU an…
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…
