Induced Lorentz & CPT invariance violations in QED
We consider QED in a constant axial vector background. Lorentz invariance violation(LIV) occurs through radiative corrections. A detailed study of the phenomenology of the model is carried out, clarifying important issues related to the various regularizations employed . In this context, the physical meaning of the cutoffs induced by LIV is emphasized. Finally, finite temperature radiative corr...
متن کاملNonrelativisitic Ideal Gasses and Lorentz Violations
We develop statistical mechanics for a nonrelativisitic ideal gas in the presence of Lorentz violating background fields. The analysis is performed using the Standard-Model Extension (SME). We derive the corresponding laws of thermodynamics and find that, to lowest order in Lorentz violation, the scalar thermodynamic variables are corrected by a rotationally invariant combination of the Lorentz...
متن کاملA Bound on Violations of Lorentz Invariance
Recently Coleman and Glashow [1] have developed a model which allows the introduction of a small violation of Lorentz invariance. Observational signatures arise because this interaction also violates flavor conservation and allows the radiative decay of the muon, μ → e + γ, whose branching ratio increases as b γ where γ is the Lorentz factor of the muon with respect to the reference frame in wh...
متن کاملHigh Energy Constraints on Lorentz Symmetry Violations
Lorentz violation at high energies might lead to non linear dispersion relations for the fundamental particles. We analyze observational constraints on these without assuming any a priori equality between the coefficients determining the amount of Lorentz violation for different particle species. We focus on constraints from three high energy processes involving photons and electrons: photon de...
متن کاملConstraining Lorentz violations with Gamma Ray Bursts
Gamma ray bursts are excellent candidates to constrain physical models which break the Lorentz symmetry. We consider deformed dispersion relations which break boost invariance and lead to an energydependent speed of light. In these models, simultaneously emitted photons from cosmological sources reach Earth with a spectral time delay that depends on the symmetry breaking scale. We estimate the ...
