We revisit the calculation of the electron, neutron, and proton electric dipole moments (EDMs) in the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model (CMSSM). The relatively large mass of the Higgs boson, $m_H \simeq 125$ GeV coupled with…
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, being a local, unitary and Lorentz-invariant quantum field theory, remains symmetric under the combined action of Charge, Parity, and Time Reversal (CPT) symmetry. This automatically implies that…
For the purpose of searching for Lorentz-invariance violation in the minimal Standard-Model Extension, we perfom a reanalysis of data obtained from the $^{133}\text{Cs}$ fountain clock operating at SYRTE. The previous study led to new…
This article reports on the Fourth Meeting on Lorentz and CPT Symmetry, CPT '07, held in August 2007 in Bloomington, Indiana, USA. The focus is on recent tests of Lorentz symmetry using atomic and optical physics. Results presented at the…
Measurements of parity-violating longitudinal analyzing powers (normalized asymmetries) in polarized proton-proton scattering provide a unique window on the interplay between the weak and strong interactions between and within hadrons.…
Lorentz invariance is a fundamental symmetry underlying both the Standard Model of particle physics and General Relativity. Testing its validity provides a direct means of searching for new physics emerging near the Planck scale. A search…
Atomic masses of seven $T_z=-1$, $fp$-shell nuclei from $^{44}$V to $^{56}$Cu and two low-lying isomers, $^{44m}$V ($J^\pi=6^+$) and $^{52m}$Co ($J^\pi=2^+$), have been measured with relative precisions of $1-4\times 10^{-7}$ with…
Charge-Parity-Time (CPT) symmetry governs that the oscillation parameters for neutrinos and anti-neutrinos are to be identical. Different mass and mixing parameters for these particles may give us a possible hint for CPT violation in the…
Violations of $ CPT$ symmetry and Lorentz invariance are searched for by studying interference effects in $ B^0$ mixing and in $ B^0_s$ mixing. Samples of $ B^0\to J/\psi K^0_{\mathrm{S}}$ and $ B^0_s\to J/\psi K^+ K^-$ decays are recorded…
Clock-comparison experiments conducted in space can provide access to many unmeasured coefficients for Lorentz and CPT violation. The orbital configuration of a satellite platform and the relatively large velocities attainable in a…

We analyze Doppler-effect experiments in terms of a general framework for violations of Lorentz symmetry: the Standard-Model Extension. These experiments are found to be sensitive to heretofore unprobed combinations of Lorentz-violation…
Within the minimal Left-Right (LR) symmetric model we revisit the predictions for the kaon CP violating observables $\varepsilon$ and $\varepsilon'$ in correlation with the neutron electric dipole moment. We perform a complete study of the…
A model for the Lorentz- and CPT-violating frequency shift for the antihydrogen $1S$-$2P$ transition in the presence of an external magnetic field is derived. Using the recent measurement of the $1S$-$2P$ transition frequency in…
