Do solar system experiments constrain scalar–tensor gravity?

Abstract It is now established that, contrary to common belief, (electro-)vacuum Brans–Dicke gravity does not reduce to general relativity (GR) for large values of the Brans–Dicke coupling $$\omega $$ ω . Since the essence of experimental tests of scalar–tensor gravity consists of providing lower bo...
