Lorentz invariance violations in the tritium beta - decay anomaly
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a Lorentz non-invariant dispersion relation for the neutrino, which would produce unexpected effects with neutrinos of few eV, exactly where the tritium beta-decay anomaly is found. We use this anomaly to put bounds on the violation of Lorentz invariance. We discuss other consequences of this non-invariant dispersion relation in neutrino experiments and high-energy cosmic-ray physics.

Closing the Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Window into Violations of the Equivalence Principle and/or Lorentz Invariance
We have examined Lorentz invariance and equivalence principle violations in the neutrino sector as manifested in neutrinoless double beta decay. We conclude that this rare decay cannot provide a useful view of these exotic processes.
متن کاملNew exotics in the double beta decay contributions zoo †
We discuss the potential of neutrinoless double beta decay for testing Lorentz invariance and the weak equivalence principle as well as contributions from dilaton exchange gravity in the neutrino sector. While neutrino oscillation bounds constrain the region of large mixing of the weak and gravitational eigenstates, we obtain new constraints on violations of Lorentz invariance and the equivalen...
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 کاملEffects of New Gravitational Interactions on Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
It has recently been proposed that violations of Lorentz invariance or violations of the equivalence principle can be constrained from the non-observation of neutrinoless double beta decay. We generalize this analysis to all possible new gravitational interactions and discuss briefly the constraints for different cases. Although there is no evidence for the violation of gravitational laws, lots...

Electromagnetic resonant cavities form the basis for a number modern tests of Lorentz invariance. The geometry of most of these experiments implies unsuppressed sensitivities to parity-even Lorentz violations only. Parity-odd violations typically enter through suppressed boost effects, causing a reduction in sensitivity by roughly four orders of magnitude. Here we discuss possible techniques fo...
