On the Vacuum Cherenkov Radiation in Noncommutative Electrodynamics and the Elusive Effects of Lorentz Violation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that in the framework of noncommutative classical electrodynamics Cherenkov radiation is permitted in vacuum and we explicitly compute its spectrum at first order in the noncommutative parameter. We discuss the phenomenological impact of the merge of this new analysis with the old results of the substantial modification to the spectrum of the synchrotron radiation obtained in [1]. We propose to consider the pulsars’ radiation spectrum due to its very strong magnetic field to investigate these Lorentz violating effects in astrophysical phenomena.

On the Vacuum Cherenkov Radiation and the Elusive Effects of Lorentz Violation
We investigate further [1], [2] the possibility of phenomenologically visible effects of violation of Lorentz invariance in the framework of noncommutative electrodynamics. We show that, in this framework, Cherenkov radiation is permitted in vacuum and we explicitly compute its spectrum. We discuss the phenomenological impact of the merge of this new analysis with the old results of the substan...
متن کاملVacuum Cherenkov radiation and photon triple-splitting in a Lorentz-noninvariant extension of quantum electrodynamics
We consider a CPT–noninvariant scalar model and a modified version of quantum electrodynamics with an additional photonic Chern–Simons-like term in the action. In both cases, the Lorentz violation traces back to a spacelike background vector. The effects of the modified field equations and dispersion relations on the kinematics and dynamics of decay processes are discussed, first for the simple...

The relation between the violation of Lorentz invariance and the dynamical effects in high energy gamma rays production is discussed. By using the framework of noncommutative classical electrodynamics, it is shown that full dynamical calculations are required to put bounds on the Lorentz violating scale by the phenomenological analysis of these processes as, for example, the synchrotron radiati...
متن کاملEffects of Lorentz invariance violation on cosmic ray photon emission and gamma ray decay processes
In this work, we use Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) introduced as a generic modification to particle dispersion relations to study some consequences of single photon emission, known as vacuum Cherenkov radiation, and photon decay processes in cosmic and gamma rays. These processes are forbidden in a Lorentz invariant theory but allowed under the hypothesis of LIV. We show that the emission ...
متن کاملNoncommutative Electrodynamics and Ultra High Energy Gamma Rays
Plane waves in noncommutative classical electrodynamics (NCED) have a peculiar dispersion relation. We investigate the kinematical conditions on this deformed ”mass shell” which come from ultra high energy gamma rays and discuss noncommutative dynamical effects on the gamma absorption by the infrared background and on the intrinsic spectrum. Finally we note that in NCED there is a strong correl...
