Cpt and Lorentz Tests in the Standard Model
نویسنده
چکیده
A general Lorentz-violating extension of the minimal SU(3) × SU(2)× U(1) standard model is described, including both CPT-even and CPT-odd terms. Some theoretical properties and experimental implications are given. The extension can be regarded as a low-energy limit of a physically relevant Lorentz-covariant fundamental theory in which spontaneous Lorentz violation occurs.

0 Lorentz and CPT Tests in QED
A theoretical framework extending QED in the context of the standard model is used to analyze a variety of Lorentz and CPT tests in atomic systems. Experimental signatures of possible Lorentz and CPT violation in these systems are investigated, and bounds are discussed.
متن کاملCpt and Lorentz Violation in Neutral-meson Oscillations
Local relativistic quantum field theories, including the standard model of particle physics, are known to be invariant under Lorentz and CPT transformations. This symmetry is consistent with the results of numerous sensitive laboratory tests. Although no definitive violation has been discovered to date, there are many reasons to undertake careful theoretical studies of possible mechanisms and d...

متن کاملInvestigating Lorentz and CPT Symmetry with Antihydrogen
This talk discusses theoretical aspects of tests of CPT and Lorentz Symmetry that will in principle be possible with trapped antihydrogen. The framework is the standard-model extension, which admits minuscule violations of CPT and Lorentz symmetry in a general manner without giving up other features of the standard model of particle physics. Spectroscopic transitions in hydrogen and antihydroge...
متن کاملTopics 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...
