Limits on Lorentz Invariance Violation from Coulomb Interactions in Nuclei and Atoms.

چکیده
Anisotropy in the speed of light that has been constrained by Michelson-Morley-type experiments also generates anisotropy in the Coulomb interactions. This anisotropy can manifest itself as an energy anisotropy in nuclear and atomic experiments. Here the experimental limits on Lorentz violation in _{10}^{21}Ne are used to improve the limits on Lorentz symmetry violations in the photon sector, namely, the anisotropy of the speed of light and the Coulomb interactions, by 7 orders of magnitude in comparison with previous experiments: the speed of light is isotropic to a part in 10^{28}.

A hypothetical violation of Lorentz invariance in the electrons’ equation of motion (expressed within the Lorentz-violating extension of the standard model) leads to a change of the geometry of crystals and thus shifts the resonance frequency of an electromagnetic cavity. This allows experimental tests of Lorentz invariance of the electron sector of the standard model. The material dependence o...
متن کاملLorentz noninvariance and the Eötvös experiments.
We explore the consequences of Lorentz noninvariance (LNI) for the Eotvos experiments in several models. It is shown that a violation of Lorentz invariance leads to an anomalous difference in the gravitational acceleration of two test masses which depends on their composition. Using the present experimental limits from the Eotvos experiments, we then derive a limit on the magnitude of a possibl...
متن کاملNew test of local Lorentz invariance using a 21Ne-Rb-K comagnetometer.
We develop a new comagnetometer using (21)Ne atoms with nuclear spin I=3/2 and Rb atoms polarized by spin exchange with K atoms to search for tensor interactions that violate local Lorentz invariance. We frequently reverse the orientation of the experiment and search for signals at the first and second harmonics of the sidereal frequency. We constrain 4 of the 5 spatial Lorentz-violating coeffi...
متن کاملCosmological backgroung torsion limits from Lorentz violation
Cosmological limits on Lorentz invariance breaking in Chern-Simons (3 + 1) − dimensional electrodynamics are used to place limits on torsion. Birefrigence phenomena is discussed by using extending the propagation equation to Riemann-Cartan spacetimes instead of treating it in purely Riemannian spaces. The parameter of Lorentz violation is shown to be proportional to the axial torsion vector whi...
متن کاملExploration of Possible Quantum Gravity Effects with Neutrinos II: Lorentz Violation in Neutrino Propagation
It has been suggested that the interactions of energetic particles with the foamy structure of space-time thought to be generated by quantum-gravitational (QG) effects might violate Lorentz invariance, so that they do not propagate at a universal speed of light. We consider the limits that may be set on a linear or quadratic violation of Lorentz invariance in the propagation of energetic neutri...
