摘要：

We consider possible tests of the Einstein equivalence principle for quantum-mechanical vacuum energies by evaluating the Lamb shift transition in a class of nonmetric theories of gravity described by the TH epsilon mu formalism. We compute to lowest-order the associated redshift and time dilation parameters, and discuss how (high-precision) measurements of these quantities could provide new information on the validity of the equivalence principle.
