Mapping Lorentz Invariance Violations into Equivalence Principle Violations

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We point out that equivalence principle violations, while not dynamically equivalent, produce the same kinematical effects as Lorentz invariance violations for particle processes in a constant gravitational potential. This allows us to translate many experimental bounds on Lorentz invariance violations into bounds on equivalence principle violations. The most stringent bound suggests that a postive signal in an E\"otv\"os experiment may be at least seven orders of magnitude beyond current technology.
