The propagation equations for pole-dipole particles are worked out for a gravity theory with a very general coupling between the curvature scalar and the matter fields. Our results allow for a systematic comparison with the equations of motion of general relativity and other gravity theories.5 pages, RevTex formatAstrophysicsGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
