The shape dependence of chameleon screening (2018)
Journal Article
Chameleon scalar fields can screen their associated fifth forces from detection by changing their mass with the local density. These models are an archetypal example of a screening mechanism, and have become an important target for both cosmological... Read More about The shape dependence of chameleon screening.
