Test of Lorentz Violation with Astrophysical Neutrino Flavor in IceCube

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-06-24 v1

Abstract

Astrophysical high-energy neutrinos observed by IceCube are sensitive to small effects in a vacuum such as those motivated from quantum gravity theories. Here, we discuss the potential sensitivity of Lorentz violation from the diffuse astrophysical neutrino data in IceCube. The estimated sensitivity reaches the Planck scale physics motivated region, providing IceCube with real discovery potential of Lorentz violation.
