A general Lorentz-violating extension of the minimal SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) standard model is described, including both CPT-even and CPT-odd terms. Some theoretical properties and experimental implications are given. The extension can be…
A more complete theoretical model of testing Lorentz violation by the comparison of atomic clocks is developed in the Robertson-Mansouri-Sexl kinematic framework. As this frame postulates the deviation of the coordinate transformation from…
We present in this work an analysis of Lorentz- and CPT-violating signals at linear boost order in Penning-trap experiments. The theory of quantum electrodynamics with Penning traps is revisited and the dominant shifts in the cyclotron and…

A class of extensions of the Standard Model allows Lorentz and CPT violations, which can be identified by the observation of sidereal modulations in the neutrino interaction rate. A search for such modulations was performed using the T2K…
A short review is given of some theoretical approaches to CPT violation. A potentially realistic possibility is that small apparent breaking of CPT and Lorentz symmetry could arise at the level of the standard model from spontaneous…

Tests of Lorentz and CPT violation in the medium baseline reactor antineutrino experiment are presented in the framework of the Standard Model Extension (SME). Both the spectral distortion and sidereal variation are employed to derive the…
Neutrino oscillations provide an opportunity for sensitive tests of Lorentz invariance. This talk reviews some aspects of Lorentz violation in neutrinos and the prospect of testing Lorentz invariance in neutrino-oscillation experiments. A…
Quantum-gravity effects are expected to be suppressed by the Planck mass. For experimental progress it is therefore important to identify potential signatures from Planck-scale physics that are amenable to ultrahigh-precision tests. It is…
