Abstract

In this article we show the modification in the number of neutrino events (νμ+νˉμ\nu_\mu+\bar\nu_\mu) caused by Lorentz Invariant Violation (LIV), σ=5×1024\sigma=5\times 10^{-24} and 102310^{-23}, in neutrino oscillation for a neutrino factory at a distance of 7500 km. The momentum of the muons can vary from 10-50 GeV and we consider 2×10202\times 10^{20} decays per year. The modifications in the number of events caused by this σ\sigma LIV parameter could be a strong signal of new physics in a future neutrino factory.
