Scalar fields, strongly coupled to matter, can be present in nature and still be invisible to local experiments if they are subject to a screening mechanism. The symmetron is one such mechanism which relies on restoration of a spontaneously broken symmetry in regions of high density to shield the scalar fifth force. We have investigated structure formation in the symmetron model by using N-body simulations and find strong observable signatures in both the linear and nonlinear matter power spectrum and on the halo mass function. The mechanism for suppressing the scalar fifth force in high density regions is also found to work very well.

  1. EFT-Ramses: a code to simulate the effective field theory of dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    A unified AMR N-body code embeds EFTofDE α-basis models into one master Vainshtein equation and matches legacy ECOSMOG and HiCOLA matter power spectra.

  2. Mass-Varying Neutrinos from an Inverse Symmetron

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    An inverse symmetron model for mass-varying neutrinos tames linear instabilities, suppresses matter power spectrum, and may address the Hubble tension via early dark energy around recombination.

  3. Galaxy formation in modified gravity -- II. galaxy halo connection and assembly bias

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Simulations in f(R) gravity show that environment density in the HOD model reduces assembly bias effects to 2-3% at z≲0.5 in both ΛCDM and modified gravity.
