Testing kappa-Poincare' with neutral kaons

Abstract

In recent work on experimental tests of quantum-gravity-motivated phenomenological models, a significant role has been played by the so-called ``κ\kappa'' deformations of Poincar\'e symmetries. Sensitivity to values of the relevant deformation length λ\lambda as small as 51033m5 \cdot 10^{-33}m has been achieved in recent analyses comparing the structure of κ\kappa-Poincar\'e symmetries with data on the gamma rays we detect from distant astrophysical sources. We investigate violations of CPT symmetry which may be associated with κ\kappa-Poincar\'e in the physics of the neutral-kaon system. A simple estimate indicates that experiments on the neutral kaons may actually be more λ\lambda-sensitive than corresponding astrophysical experiments, and may already allow to probe values of λ\lambda of order the Planck length.
