Abstract

We introduce particle phenomenology on the noncommutative spacetime called the Groenewold-Moyal plane. The length scale of spcetime noncommutativity is constrained from the CPT violation measurements in K0Kˉ0K^{0}-\bar{K}^{0} system and g2g-2 difference of μ+μ\mu^+ - \mu^-. The K0Kˉ0K^{0}-\bar{K}^{0} system provides an upper bound on the length scale of spacetime noncommutativity of the order of 1032m10^{-32} \textrm{m}, corresponding to a lower energy bound EE of the order of E1016GeVE \gtrsim 10^{16}\textrm{GeV}. The g2g-2 difference of μ+μ\mu^+ - \mu^- constrains the noncommutativity length scale to be of the order of 1020m10^{-20} \textrm{m}, corresponding to a lower energy bound EE of the order of E103GeVE \gtrsim 10^{3}\textrm{GeV}. We also present the phenomenology of the electromagnetic interaction of electrons and nucleons at the tree level in the noncommutative spacetime. We show that the distributions of charge and magnetization of nucleons are affected by spacetime noncommutativity. The analytic properties of electromagnetic form factors are also changed and it may give rise to interesting experimental signals.
