Chameleons on the Racetrack

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-12 v1

Abstract

We modify the ansatz for embedding chameleon scalars in string theory proposed in [1] by considering a racetrack superpotential with two KKLT-type exponentials eiaϱe^{ia\varrho} instead of one. This satisfies all experimental constraints, while also allowing for the chameleon to be light enough on cosmological scales to be phenomenologically interesting.
