Abstract

Recently two collaborations, Tibet and HAWC, presented new measurements of gamma-ray spectrum from Crab Nebula \cite{Amenomori:2019rjd},\cite{Abeysekara:2019edl} which continues beyond 100100 TeV. We use these data to establish two-sided constraints on parameters of Lorentz Invariance violation in quantum electrodynamics. The limits on Lorentz violating mass scale for quartic dispersion relation are 4.1×1014 \mboxGeV4.1\times 10^{14}\ \mbox{GeV} (photon splitting) and 1.9×1013 \mboxGeV1.9\times 10^{13}\ \mbox{GeV} (photon decay) for superluminal case, and 1.4×10121.4\times 10^{12} GeV (suppression of shower formation) for subluminal case.
