Abstract
We propose a model for the dust matter in the cosmological context. The model contains a scalar field with a kinetic term nonminimally coupled to gravity. By investigating the background and perturbative equations, it is demonstrated that the scalar field has the same dynamics as the dust matter. We have also considered the cosmological constant in the model. It turns out that the model has not exotic behavior. Thus, a universe including the scalar field and the cosmological constant evolves just as our Universe. Moreover, we have added the quadratic term in the action. It is shown that the quadratic term can be ruled out by its consequences.
