Scalar fields in scalar-tensor gravity produce EM radiation through φFμνFμν coupling with resonance amplification that differs from ALP φFμν~Fμν signals, enabling potential distinction and modified gravity tests.

abstract
We report results from the GammeV Chameleon Afterglow Search---a search for chameleon particles created via photon/chameleon oscillations within a magnetic field. This experiment is sensitive to a wide class of chameleon power-law models and dark energy models not previously explored. These results exclude five orders of magnitude in the coupling of chameleons to photons covering a range of four orders of magnitude in chameleon effective mass and, for individual chameleon models, exclude between 4 and 12 orders of magnitude in chameleon couplings to matter.
