Weak field limit of higher dimensional massive Brans-Dicke gravity:
  Observational constraints
  We consider higher-dimensional massive Brans-Dicke theory with Ricci-flat
internal space. The background model is perturbed by a massive gravitating
source which is pressureless in the external (our space) but has an arbitrary
equation-of-state parameter $\Omega$ in the internal space. We obtain the exact
solution of the system of linearized equations for the perturbations of the
metric coefficients and scalar field. For a massless scalar field, relying on
the fine-tuning between the Brans-Dicke parameter $\omega$ and $\Omega$, we
demonstrate that (i) the model does not contradict gravitational tests relevant
to the parameterized post-Newtonian parameter $\gamma$, and (ii) the scalar
field is not ghost in the case of nonzero $|\Omega|\sim O(1)$ along with the
natural value $|\omega|\sim O(1)$. In the general case of a massive scalar
field, the metric coefficients acquire the Yukawa correction terms, where the
Yukawa mass scale $m$ is defined by the mass of the scalar field. For the
natural value $\omega\sim O(1)$, the inverse-square-law experiments impose the
following restriction on the lower bound of the mass: $m\gtrsim 10^{-11}\,$GeV.
The experimental constraints on $\gamma$ requires that $\Omega$ must be
extremely close to $-1/2$.
