Abstract

We study CPT-odd non-minimal Lorentz-symmetry violating couplings in the electroweak sector modifying the interactions between leptons, gauge mediators and the Higgs boson. The tree-level (differential) cross sections for three important electroweak processes are discussed: e+eZHe^+ \, e^- \rightarrow Z \, H, e+eZZe^+ \, e^- \rightarrow Z \, Z and γγW+W\gamma \, \gamma \rightarrow W^+ \, W^-. By considering next-generation e+ee^+ \, e^- colliders reaching center-of-mass energies at the TeV scale and the estimated improved precision for the measurements of the respective cross sections, we are able to project upper bounds on the purely time-like background 4-vector as strict as 105\mboxGeV1\lesssim 10^{-5} \, \mbox{GeV}^{-1}, in agreement with previous work on similar Lorentz-violating couplings.
