We consider Lorentz violation in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. We perform a spurion analysis to show that, in the simplest natural constructions, the resulting supersymmetry-breaking masses are tiny. In the process, we…

I review the predictions of the total cross section for many models, and point out that some of them lead to the conclusion that the standard experimental analysis may lead to systematic errors much larger than expected.
In a recent article [1] we have explored alternative decompositions of the Lorentz transformation by adopting the synchronization convention of the target frame at the end and alternately at the outset. In this note we develop the…
A general theoretical framework that incorporates possible CPT and Lorentz violation in an extension of the standard model and in quantum electrodynamics has been developed over the last decade. The framework originates in the idea that CPT…
