نویسنده
چکیده
It was recently suggested that possible small volations of Lorentz invariance could explain the existence of UHECR beyond the GZK cutoff and the observations of multi-TeV gamma-rays from Mkn 501. Our analysis of Lorentz-violating kinematics shows that in addition to the modified threshold conditions solving cosmic ray puzzles we should expect a strong suppression of electromagnetic processes like bremsstrahlung and pair creation. This leads to drastic effects in electron-photon cascade development in the atmosphere and in detectors.

We demonstrate that the neutrino kinetic equation derived by the standard Bo-golyubov method is formally gauge non-invariant and give a recipe how to recast it to the gauge invariant form recovering the standard Lorentz form weak force term which apparently conserves the lepton current. The analogy with the QED plasma case is traced which in asymptotic regions implies substitution of electric c...

The muon flux at the South-Pole was measured for five zenith angles, 0◦, 15◦, 35◦, 82.13◦ and 85.15◦ with a scintillator muon telescope incorporating ice Cherenkov tank detectors as the absorber. We compare the measurements with other data and with calculations.
