Abstract

We study the muon pair production e+eμ+μ e^+ e^- \to \mu^+ \mu^- in the framework of the non-minimal noncommutative(NC) standard model to the second order of the NC parameter Θμν\Theta_{\mu\nu}. The O(Θ2)\mathcal{O}(\Theta^2) momentum dependent NC interaction significantly modifies the cross section and angular distributions which are different from the standard model. After including the effects of earth's rotation we analyse the time-averaged and time dependent observables in detail. The time-averaged azimuthal distribution of the cross section shows siginificant departure from the standard model. We find strong dependence of the total cross section(time- averaged) and their distributions on the orientation of the noncommutative electric vector (ΘE{\vec{\Theta}}_E). The periodic variation of the total cross-section with time over a day seems to be startling and can be thoroughly probed at the upcoming Linear Collider(LC).
