Improved Bounds on Violation of the Strong Equivalence Principle
نویسنده
چکیده
I describe a unique, 20-year-long timing program for the binary pulsar B0655+64, the stalwart control experiment for measurements of gravitational radiation damping in relativistic neutron-star binaries. Observed limits on evolution of the B0655+64 orbit provide new bounds on the existence of dipolar gravitational radiation, and hence on violation of the Strong Equivalence Principle.

New limits on the violation of the strong equivalence principle in strong field regimes
The Strong Equivalence Principle (SEP) demands, besides the validity of the Einstein Equivalence Principle, that all self-gravitating bodies feel the same acceleration in an external gravitational field. It has been found that metric theories of gravity other that than general relativity typically predict a violation of the SEP. In case of the Earth-Moon system (weak field system) this violatio...
متن کاملSearch for a Lorentz invariance violation in atmospheric neutrino oscillations using MACRO data
The energy spectrum of neutrino-induced upward-going muons in MACRO was analysed in terms of special relativity principles violating effects, keeping standard mass-induced atmospheric neutrino oscillations as the dominant source of νμ ←→ ντ transitions. The data disfavour these exotic possibilities even at a sub-dominant level, and stringent 90% C.L. limits are placed on the Lorentz invariance ...
متن کاملTesting the principle of equivalence by supernova neutrinos
We study the possible impact of the neutrino oscillation which could be induced by a tiny violation of equivalence principle (VEP) for neutrinos emitted from supernova driven by gravitational collapse. Due to the absence of any significant indication of neutrino oscillation in the SN1987A data, we obtain sever bounds on relevant VEP parameters δγ ∼ O(10−31) for massless or degenerated neutrinos...
متن کامل0 Se p 19 96 Neutrino Spin Transitions and the Violation of the Equivalence Principle .
The violation of the equivalence principle (VEP) causing neutrino oscillations is of current interest. We study here the possibility of not only flavor oscillation but spin flavor oscillation of ultra high energy (∼ 1 PeV) neutrinos emanating from AGN due to VEP and due to the presence of a large magnetic field (∼ 1 Tesla) in AGN. In particular we look at the resonance spin flavor conversion dr...
