Abstract

We show that the Casimir force and energy are modified in the kappa-deformed space-time. This is analysed by solving the Green's function corresponding to kappa-deformed scalar field equation in presence of two parallel plates, modelled by delta-function potentials. Exploiting the relation between energy-momentum tensor and Green's function, we calculate the correction to Casimir force, valid up to second order in the deformation parameter. The Casimir force is shown to get corrections which scale as L4L^{-4} and L6L^{-6} and both these types of corrections produce attractive forces. Using the measured value of Casimir force, we show that the deformation parameter should be below 102310^{-23}m.
