Lorentz invariant violation (LIV) test is very important to study in the new physics. All the known astrophysical constraints either have a very small examinable parameter space, or are only suitable for some special theoretical models.…
Electromagnetic resonant cavities form the basis of many tests of Lorentz invariance involving photons. The effects of some forms of Lorentz violation scale with cavity size. We investigate possible signals of violations in the naturally…
