| الوصف: | We analyze the dynamics of the Sun-Earth-Moon system in the context of a particular class of theories of gravity where curvature and matter are nonminimally coupled (NMC). These theories can potentially violate the Equivalence Principle as they give origin to a fifth force and a extra non-Newtonian force that may imply that Earth and Moon fall differently towards the Sun. We show, through a detailed analysis, that consistency with the bound on Weak Equivalence Principle arising from 48 years of Lunar Laser Ranging data, for a range of parameters of the NMC gravity theory, can be achieved via the implementation of a suitable screening mechanism. Comment: 31 pages, 5 figures, 52 refs. Discussion of the results extended |
