DESCRIPTION:Spontaneous scalarization is a scenario in some scalar-tensor 
 theories of gravity where non-perturbative (order-of-unity strength) scala
 r fields can develop near neutron stars. I will explain the basics of spon
 taneous scalarization and how we evolve spacetimes in this theory using nu
 merical relativity techniques. I will describe the scalar-tensor theory pa
 rameter space that allows large deviations from GR\, and speculate on some
  merger cases where the gravitational signal can be analyzed to identify s
 uch deviations.
