Abstract

In this work, we propose two possibilities of CPT-odd and Lorentz-violating (LV) nonminimal couplings in the Electroweak sector. These terms are gauge-invariant and couple a fixed 4-vector to the physical fields of the theory. After determining the LV contributions to the electroweak currents, we reassess the evaluation of the decay rate for the vector mediators WW and ZZ. Using the experimental uncertainty in these decay rates, upper bounds of 11 part in 101510^{-15} (eV )1^{-1} and 101410^{-14} (eV )1^{-1} are imposed on the magnitude of the proposed nonmimal interactions.
