Searching Lorentz invariance violation from cosmic photon attenuation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) can change the threshold behavior predicted by special relativity and cause anomalies which affect propagation of cosmic photons. In this work, we focus on anomaly effect photon attenuations extragalactic background light (EBL) discuss how to identify LIV from observations very high energy (VHE) photons propagated long distance in universe. We point out that Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), one most sensitive gamma-ray detector arrays currently operating at TeV PeV energies, is an ideal facility for performing such searching. apply proposed strategy newly observed burst GRB 221009A demonstrate predictive ability our suggestions.

Effects of Lorentz invariance violation on cosmic ray photon emission and gamma ray decay processes
In this work, we use Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) introduced as a generic modification to particle dispersion relations to study some consequences of single photon emission, known as vacuum Cherenkov radiation, and photon decay processes in cosmic and gamma rays. These processes are forbidden in a Lorentz invariant theory but allowed under the hypothesis of LIV. We show that the emission ...
متن کاملCosmic Rays and the Search for a Lorentz Invariance Violation
This is an introductory review about the on-going search for a signal of Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) in cosmic rays. We first summarise basic aspects of cosmic rays, focusing on rays of ultra high energy (UHECRs). We discuss the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuz’min (GZK) energy cutoff for cosmic protons, which is predicted due to photopion production in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). This is...
متن کاملSearching for Lorentz Violation
Astrophysical, terrestrial, and space-based searches for Lorentz violation are very briefly reviewed. Such searches are motivated by the fact that all superunified theories (and other theories that attempt to include quantum gravity) have some potential for observable violations of Lorentz invariance. Another motivation is the exquisite sensitivity of certain well-designed experiments and obser...
متن کاملCPT violation implies violation of Lorentz invariance.
A interacting theory that violates CPT invariance necessarily violates Lorentz invariance. On the other hand, CPT invariance is not sufficient for out-of-cone Lorentz invariance. Theories that violate CPT by having different particle and antiparticle masses must be nonlocal.
متن کاملLorentz Violation , Electrodynamics , and the Cosmic Microwave
The properties of light have proved to be a valuable testing ground for special relativity for more than a century. Contemporary experiments are motivated in part by a possible breakdown of special relativity with origins in Planck-scale physics [1, 2, 3]. These experiments include modern versions of the classic Michelson-Morley and Kennedy-Thorndike experiments that use highly stable resonant ...
