چکیده

Following a suggestion from Kostelecký et al., we evaluated a test of CPT and Lorentz invariance from the microwave spectroscopy of muonium. Hamiltonian terms beyond the standard model violating CPT and Lorentz invariance would contribute frequency shifts deltanu(12) and deltanu(34) to nu(12) and nu(34), the two transitions involving muon spin flip, which were precisely measured in ground state muonium in a strong magnetic field of 1.7 T. The shifts would be indicated by anticorrelated oscillations in nu(12) and nu(34) at the Earth's sidereal frequency. No time dependence was found in nu(12) or nu(34) at the level of 20 Hz, limiting the size of some CPT and Lorentz-violating parameters at the level of 2x10(-23) GeV.

Following a suggestion of Kosteleck´y et al. we have evaluated a test of CPT and Lorentz invariance from the microwave spectroscopy of muonium. Violations of CPT and Lorentz invariance in the muon sector would be indicated by frequency shifts δν 12 and δν 34 in ν 12 and ν 34 , the two hyperfine transitions involving muon spin flip, which were precisely measured in ground state muonium in a stro...

CPT and lorentz tests with muons

Precision experiments with muons are sensitive to Planck-scale CPT and Lorentz violation that is undetectable in other tests. Existing data on the muonium ground-state hyperfine structure and on the muon anomalous magnetic moment could be analyzed to provide dimensionless figures of merit for CPT and Lorentz violation at the levels of 4x10(-21) and 10(-23).

CPT 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.

Testing Lorentz and CPT Invariance with Neutrinos

Neutrino experiments can be considered sensitive tools to test Lorentz and CPT invariance. Taking advantage of the great variety of neutrino experiments, including neutrino oscillations, weak decays, and astrophysical neutrinos, the generic experimental signatures of the breakdown of these fundamental symmetries in the neutrino sector are presented.

Topics in Lorentz and Cpt Violation

Invariance under Lorentz and CPT transformations is a fundamental requirement of local relativistic quantum field theories, including the standard model of particle physics. This invariance also seems to be realized in nature, as no clear signals for violations have been observed despite numerous experimental tests. Nonetheless, several facts offer motivation for theoretical studies of possible...
