Constraining Lorentz violations with Gamma Ray Bursts
Gamma ray bursts are excellent candidates to constrain physical models which break the Lorentz symmetry. We consider deformed dispersion relations which break boost invariance and lead to an energydependent speed of light. In these models, simultaneously emitted photons from cosmological sources reach Earth with a spectral time delay that depends on the symmetry breaking scale. We estimate the ...
متن کاملStudy of Lorentz violation in INTEGRAL gamma-ray bursts
We search for possible time lags caused by quantum gravitational (QG) effects using gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by INTEGRAL. The advantage of this satellite is that we have at our disposal the energy and arrival time of every detected single photon, which enhances the precision of the time resolution. We present a new method for seeking time lags in unbinned data using a maximum likelihood...
متن کاملLower Limits on Lorentz Factors in Gamma Ray Bursts
As is well-known, the requirement that gamma ray bursts (GRB’s) be optically thin to high energy photons yields a lower limit on the Lorentz factor (γ) of the expansion. In this paper, we provide a simple derivation of the lower limit on γ due to the annihilation of photon pairs, and correct the errors in some of the previous calculations of this limit. We also derive a second limit on γ due to...
متن کاملAre we observing Lorentz violation in gamma ray bursts ?
From recent observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), it appears that spectral time lags between higher-energy gamma rays photons and lower-energy photons vary with energy difference and time (distance) traveled. These lags appear to be smaller for the most luminous (close) bursts but larger for the fainter (farther away) bursts. From this observation, it has been suggested that it might be poss...
متن کاملRobust Limits on Lorentz Violation from Gamma-Ray Bursts
We constrain the possibility of a non-trivial refractive index in free space corresponding to an energy-dependent velocity of light: c(E) ≃ c0(1 − E/M), where M is a mass scale that might represent effect of quantum-gravitational space-time foam, using the arrival times of sharp features observed in the intensities of radiation with different energies from a large sample of gamma-ray bursters (...
