Dilaton and Possible Non-Newtonian Gravity

Abstract

A model is proposed which allows a dilaton to show up in a possible non-Newtonian part of the gravitational force. By examining the available observational facts it can be shown that the force-range of the additional force, if it exists, will be either between 10 m and 1 km or smaller than 1 cm.
