Invariance Violation and the QED formation length
نویسنده
چکیده
It was recently suggested that possible small violations 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.

متن کاملنظریه میدان ناجابه‌جایی و پارامترهای نقض لورنتس در QED
Non-commutative field theory as a theory including the Lorentz violation can be constructed in two different ways. In the first method, the non-commutative fields are the same as the ordinary ones while the gauge group is restricted to U(n). For example, the symmetry group of standard model in non-commutative space is U(3)×(2)×U(1) which can be reduced to SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) by two appropriate spo...
متن کاملInduced 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 کاملGZK photon constraints on Planck scale Lorentz violation in QED
We show how the argument exploited by Galaverni & Sigl in Phys. Rev. Lett., 100, 021102 (2008) (see also arXiv:0708.1737) [1] to constrain Lorentz invariance violation (LV) using Ultra-High-Energy photon non observation by the AUGER experiment, can be extended to QED with Planck-suppressed LV (at order O(E/M) and O(E/M)). While the original constraints given by Galaverni & Sigl [1] happen to be...

We show that the induced parity–even Lorentz invariance violation can be unambiguously calculated in the physically justified and minimally broken dimensional regularization scheme, suitably tailored for a spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking in a field theory model. The quantization of the Lorentz invariance violating quantum electrodynamics is briefly examined and shown to be consistent eith...
