Abstract
In this work, we propose two possibilities of CPT-odd and Lorentz-violating (LV) nonminimal couplings in the Electroweak sector. These terms are gauge-invariant and couple a fixed 4-vector to the physical fields of the theory. After determining the LV contributions to the electroweak currents, we reassess the evaluation of the decay rate for the vector mediators and . Using the experimental uncertainty in these decay rates, upper bounds of part in (eV ) and (eV ) are imposed on the magnitude of the proposed nonmimal interactions.
