Absorption of TeV Photons and κ-deformed Poincaré algebra

چکیده
We consider the process of collision between a hard photon and a soft photon producing an electron-positron pair, under the assumption that the kinematics be described according to the κ-deformation of the D=4 Poincaré algebra. We emphasize the relevance of this analysis for the understanding of the puzzling observations of multi-TeV photons from Markarian 501. We find a significant effect of the κ-deformation for processes above threshold, while, in agreement with a previous study, we find that there is no leading-order deformation of the threshold condition.

Absorption of TeV Photons and κ-Deformation of Relativistic Symmetries
It is shown how the increase of classical threshold for hard photon absorption on far infrared background can be achieved with the use of deformed kinematics, described by κ-deformation of Poincaré symmetries in bicrossproduct basis. We consider the dependence of absorption threshold on the scattering angles for ingoing photons as well as outgoing e − e pair. We discuss in detail the threshold ...
متن کاملRelation between quantum κ-Poincaré framework and Doubly Special Relativity
We describe firstly the basic features of quantum κ-Poincaré symmetries with their Hopf algebra structure. The quantum κ-Poincaré framework in any basis relates rigidly the quantum κ-Poincaré algebra with quantum κ-Poincaré group, noncommutative space-time and κ-deformed phase space. Further we present the approach of Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) theories, which introduce (in the version DSR...
متن کاملLimiting temperature of hadrons using states predicted from κ-deformed Poincaré algebra
The experimental hadronic density of states dN/dm, assumed to be a sum of normalized BreitWigner distributions and plotted as a function of the hadron mass m, fails to show a Hagedorn like growth beyond 2 GeV, probably due to a lack of data. Experimental hadronic states are fitted using κ -deformed Poincaré algebra and the fit is used to extrapolate for including states not detected. For the th...

متن کاملA new ‘doubly special relativity’ theory from a quantum Weyl–Poincaré algebra
A ‘mass-like’ quantum Weyl–Poincaré algebra is proposed to describe, after the identification of the deformation parameter with the Planck length, a new relativistic theory with two observer-independent scales (or DSR theory). Deformed momentum representation, finite boost transformations, range of rapidity, energy and momentum, as well as position and velocity operators are explicitly studied ...
