Phenomenology of Brans-Dicke Theory| Phenomenology of Brans-Dicke Theory |
In General > s.a. gravitomagnetism.
* Properties: The massless field Φ
is to be thought of as corresponding to a "varying gravitational constant G
~ Φ−1"; It incorporates the weak form of
the equivalence principle, not the strong one; The local special relativistic laws are valid
as usual; The field Φ interacts with matter only indirectly, through the metric.
* Bounds on ω: 1973, needed ω
> 5 for reasonable agreement with experiment; 1987, There are much stronger lower bounds, and it does
not seem very natural (the ω → ∞ limit of the theory is general relativity, if
Taa ≠ 0);
2011, The strongest bound comes from the Cassini mission measurement of the Shapiro time delay, ω
> 40,000; 2014, ω > 692 (at 99% c.l.) from Planck mission cmb data.
* And PPN parameters:
Cosmological models predict a departure from the general relativity value of
|1−γ| between 10−5
and 10−7.
