Threshold anomalies of ultra-high energy cosmic photons due to Lorentz invariance violation

نویسندگان

چکیده

From special relativity, photon annihilation process \HepProcess{{\Pgg}{\Pgg}{\to}{\Pep}{\Pem}} prevents cosmic photons with energies above a threshold to propagate long distance in space due their low energy background photons. However, modifications of the dispersion relation from Lorentz invariance violation~(LIV) can cause novel phenomena beyond relativity happen. In this paper, we point out that these include optical transparency, reduction and reappearance ultra-high space. The recent observation near PeV events by LHAASO Collaboration reveals necessity consider anomalies. Future observations extragalactic sources testify LIV properties

Do we observe ultra high energy cosmic rays above the Greisen - Zatsepin - Kuzmin cutoff due to violation of Lorentz invariance ?

Do we observe ultra high energy cosmic rays above the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff due to violation of Lorentz invariance? Abstract Violation of Lorentz invariance has been suggested by Coleman and Glashow as a possible explanation of observing ultra high energy cosmic ray events above the Greisen Zatsepin Kuzmin cutoff. Earlier some of the ultra high energy cosmic ray events have been correl...

Spontaneous Violation of Lorentz Invariance and Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays

We propose that local Lorentz invariance is spontaneously violated at high energies, due to a nonvanishing vacuum expectation value of a vector field φμ, as a possible explanation of the observation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays with an energy above the GZK cutoff. Certain consequences of spontaneous breaking of Lorentz invariance in cosmology are discussed.

Extremely High Energy and Violation of Lorentz Invariance

Extremely high-energy(EHE) cosmic rays might provide a chance to check a violation of the Lorentz symmetry of spacetime. Some theoretical consideration is described about why the Lorentz symmetry might breakdown in EHE phenomena in this universe. Some models which introduce the violation of the Lorentz symmetry will be discussed. 1 Violation of Symmetry in Actual Universe Great achievement of t...

High Energy Astrophysics Tests of Lorentz Invariance Violation

Observations of the multi-TeV spectra of the Mkn 501 and other nearby BL Lac objects exhibit the high energy cutoffs predicted to be the result of intergalactic annihilation interactions, primarily with IR photons having a flux level as determined by various astronomical observations. After correcting for such intergalactic absorption, these spectra can be explained within the framework of sync...

Lorentz Violation and Ultrahigh-Energy Photons

The propagation of photons, electrons and positrons at ultra-high energies above ∼ 10 eV can be changed considerably if the dispersion relations of these particles are modified by terms suppressed by powers of the Planck scale. We recently pointed out that the current non-observation of photons in the ultra-high energy cosmic ray flux at such energies can put strong constraints on such modified...
