In theories with broken Lorentz symmetry, Cerenkov radiation may be possible even in vacuum. We analyze the Cerenkov emissions that are associated with the least constrained Lorentz-violating modifications of the photon sector, calculating…
If Lorentz and CPT violation exist, they could affect the decays of scalar and pseudoscalar particles. For a decay into a fermion and an antifermion (not necessarily of the same mass), both the total decay rate and the outgoing particle…
Among the most studied approaches to introduce the breaking of Lorentz symmetry, the generic approach is one of the most frequently used for phenomenology, it converges on the modification of the free particle dispersion relation. Using…
Motivated by different approaches to quantum gravity, one could consider that Lorentz invariance is not an exact symmetry of nature at all energy scales. Following this spirit, modified dispersion relations have been used to encapsulate…
The Standard-Model Extension (SME) parameterizes all possible Lorentz-violating contributions to the Standard Model and General Relativity. It can be considered as an effective framework to describe possible quantum-gravity effects for…
We consider a CPT-noninvariant scalar model and a modified version of quantum electrodynamics with an additional photonic Chern-Simons-like term in the action. In both cases, the Lorentz violation traces back to a spacelike background…
The theoretical description of fermions in the presence of Lorentz and CPT violation is developed. We classify all Lorentz- and CPT-violating and invariant terms in the quadratic Lagrange density for a Dirac fermion, including operators of…
