Cosmic Searches for Lorentz Invariance Violation

Abstract

Cosmic messengers (gamma rays, cosmic rays, neutrinos and gravitational waves) provide a powerful complementary way to search for Lorentz invariance violating effects to laboratory-based experiments. The long baselines and high energies involved make Cherenkov telescopes, air-shower arrays, neutrino telescopes and gravitational wave detectors unique tools to probe the expected tiny effects that the breaking of Lorentz invariance would cause in the propagation of these messengers, in comparison with the standard scenario. In this chapter we explain the expected effects that the mentioned detectors can measure and summarize current results of searches for Lorentz violation.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This process is usually known as vacuum Cherenkov emission although it does not really resemble Cherenkov radiation since the usual Cherenkov radiation is emitted by the media which the relativistic particle traverses, not by direct radiation from the particle itself.

  2. 2.

    Cosmic rays can also be detected directly by placing particle detectors in space, e.g. [114, 115], although the necessarily small detection area of these kind of detectors limit their energy reach and detection rate.

  3. 3.

    Tests using relative timing with respect to other messengers or direction-dependent observables are similar to what was discussed in Sect. 6.2.2

  4. 4.
