Testing for Lorentz violation: constraints on standard-model-extension parameters via lunar laser ranging.
We present constraints on violations of Lorentz invariance based on archival lunar laser-ranging (LLR) data. LLR measures the Earth-Moon separation by timing the round-trip travel of light between the two bodies and is currently accurate to the equivalent of a few centimeters (parts in 10(11) of the total distance). By analyzing this LLR data under the standard-model extension (SME) framework, ...
متن کاملStrong binary pulsar constraints on Lorentz violation in gravity.
Binary pulsars are excellent laboratories to test the building blocks of Einstein's theory of general relativity. One of these is Lorentz symmetry, which states that physical phenomena appear the same for all inertially moving observers. We study the effect of violations of Lorentz symmetry in the orbital evolution of binary pulsars and find that it induces a much more rapid decay of the binary...
متن کاملLorentz-Violating Extension of the Standard Model
In the context of conventional quantum field theory, we present a general Lorentz-violating extension of the minimal SU(3) × SU(2)× U(1) standard model including CPT-even and CPTodd terms. It can be viewed as the low-energy limit of a physically relevant fundamental theory with Lorentz-covariant dynamics in which spontaneous Lorentz violation occurs. The extension has gauge invariance, energy-m...
متن کاملCosmological constraints on Lorentz violation in electrodynamics.
Infrared, optical, and ultraviolet spectropolarimetry of cosmological sources is used to constrain the pure electromagnetic sector of a general Lorentz-violating standard-model extension. The coefficients for Lorentz violation are bounded to less than 3 x 10(-32).
متن کاملAtmospheric Neutrino Constraints on Lorentz Violation
Sensitive tests of Lorentz invariance can emerge from the study of neutrino oscillations, particularly for atmospheric neutrinos where the effect is conveniently near-maximal and has been observed over a wide range of energies. We assume these oscillations to be described in terms of two neutrinos with different masses and (possibly) different maximal attainable velocities (MAVs). It suffices t...
