Chameleons are scalar fields whose mass depends on the environment, specifically on the ambient matter density. While nearly massless in the cosmos, where the matter density is tiny, their mass is of order of an inverse millimeter on Earth, where the density is high. In this note, we review how chameleons can satisfy current experimental constraints on deviations from General Relativity (GR). Moreover, we study the cosmological evolution with a chameleon field and show the existence of an attractor solution, akin to the tracker solution in quintessence models. We discuss how chameleons can naturally drive the observed acceleration of the universe

  1. Dark Energy and Neutrino Flavor from the Weak Axion

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The dark-energy scale is predicted from neutrino masses and PMNS mixing: the weak-axion Coleman-Weinberg potential lands at 1-4 meV for current neutrino data.

  2. Scalar-tensor theories at different scales: averaging the scalar sector

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Averaging matter before solving the Klein-Gordon equation mis-estimates the coarse-grained scalar-field energy density and pressure, by factors up to about 10^5 for a Yukawa model and with mean-field deviations exceed...

  3. An accurate solar axions ray-tracing response of BabyIAXO

    hep-ex 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A full ray-tracing simulation of solar axion conversion in BabyIAXO's inhomogeneous magnet field yields a sensitivity projection comparable to conventional uniform-field estimates and provides a public toolkit for fut...
