Cosmic Ray and Neutrino Tests of Special Relativity
Searches for anisotropies due to Earth’s motion relative to a preferred frame — modern versions of the Michelson-Morley experiment — provide precise verifications of special relativity. We describe other tests, independent of this motion, that are or can become even more sensitive. The existence of high-energy cosmic rays places strong constraints on Lorentz non-invariance. Furthermore, if the ...
متن کاملNeutrino Pair Annihilation in the Gravitation of Gamma Ray Burst Sources
We study semianalytically the gravitational effects on neutrino pair annihilation near the neutrinosphere and around the thin accretion disk. For the disk case, we assume that the accretion disk is isothermal and that the gravitational field is dominated by the Schwarzschild black hole. General relativistic effects are studied only near the rotation axis. The energy deposition rate is enhanced ...
متن کاملComments on Neutrino Tests of Special Relativity
We point out that the assumption of Lorentz noninvariance examined recently by Coleman and Glashow leads to neutrino flavor oscillations which are phenomenologically equivalent to those obtained by assuming the neutrinos violate the principle of equivalence. We then comment on the limits on Lorentz noninvariance which can be derived from solar, atmospheric, and accelerator neutrino experiments.
متن کاملRay-tracing and Interferometry in Schwarzschild Geometry
Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski’s equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which resu...
متن کاملNeutrino Tests of General and Special Relativity
We review the status of testing the principle of equivalence and Lorentz invariance from atmospheric and solar neutrino experiments. Talk presented at the Nufact’99 Workshop, Lyon, France, July 5-9, 1999.
