Dear Rouven, I will be at snowmass, and I can give a short talk on searches for coupled dark energy and modified gravity. Possible topics: fifth force searches using torsion pendulum experiments, neutron interferometry, ultracold neutron bouncers; photon coupling searches using laser oscillation experiments such as CHASE, as well as helioscopes. --Amol On Mon, 24 Jun 2013, Rouven Essig wrote: > Dear NLWCP, > > The schedule for the upcoming Community Summer Study (CSS or > "Snowmass") is attached.
