Evaluation of the Anomalous Force Detected in the Datta, Yin and Vargas Experiment, According to Mbelek and Lachièze-Rey Scalar-Tensor Theory of Gravitation

Abstract

An analysis is presented of the experiment by Datta, Yin and Vargas in the light of the Mbelek and Lachieze-Rey scalar-tensor theory of gravitation, showing that this theory reproduces the magnitude and sign of the measured anomalous weight increment of conducting balls immersed in an inhomogeneous electric field.
