Abstract

Scalar-tensor theories are constrained with lunar laser ranging and supernovae data at low redshift. This allows to find some constraints on the scalar field independently on the form of its potential once the gravitation function is specified. We apply these results to some well known scalar-tensor theories showing that they agreed with the LCDM model at 1 sigma.
