Lorentz Violation and Neutrinos *
نویسنده
چکیده
Neutrino oscillations provide an opportunity for sensitive tests of Lorentz invariance. This talk reviews some aspects of Lorentz violation in neutrinos and the prospect of testing Lorentz invariance in neutrinooscillation experiments. A general Lorentz-violating theory for neutrinos is discussed, and some signals of Lorentz violation are identified.

Neutrino Telescope Modelling of Lorentz Invariance Violation in Oscillations of Atmospheric Neutrinos
One possible feature of quantum gravity may be the violation of Lorentz invariance. In this paper we consider one particular manifestation of the violation of Lorentz invariance, namely modified dispersion relations for massive neutrinos. We show how such modified dispersion relations may affect atmospheric neutrino oscillations. We then consider how neutrino telescopes, such as ANTARES, may be...
متن کاملNeutrino oscillations, Lorentz=CPT violation, and dark energy
If dark energy (DE) couples to neutrinos, then there may be apparent violations of Lorentz=CPT invariance in neutrino oscillations. The DE-induced Lorentz=CPT violation takes a specific form that introduces neutrino oscillations that are energy independent, differ for particles and antiparticles, and can lead to novel effects for neutrinos propagating through matter. We show that ultra-high-ene...

متن کاملConstraining the Flavor Structure of Lorentz Violation Hamiltonian with the Measurement of Astrophysical Neutrino Flavor Compositions
We study Lorentz violation effects to flavor transitions of high energy astrophysical neutrinos. It is shown that the appearance of Lorentz violating Hamiltonian can drastically change the flavor transition probabilities of astrophysical neutrinos. Predictions of Lorentz violation effects to flavor compositions of astrophysical neutrinos arriving on Earth are compared with IceCube flavor compos...
متن کاملElectrophobic Lorentz invariance violation for neutrinos and the see-saw mechanism
We show how Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) can occur for Majorana neutrinos, without inducing LIV in the charged leptons via radiative corrections. Such “electrophobic” LIV is due to the Majorana nature of the LIV operator together with electric charge conservation. Being free from the strong constraints coming from the charged lepton sector, electrophobic LIV can in principle be as large a...
