Testing Scenarios of Lorentz Symmetry Violation Generated at the Planck Scale
Abstract
Description
Using new theoretical tools, which allow to better understand ultra-high energy (UHE) dynamics, several patterns of Lorentz symmetry violation (LSV) are studied and compared with experiment. It is claimed that quadratically deformed relativistic kinematics (QDRK), where the parameter driving LSV varies like the square of the energy scale, remains the best suited pattern to describe LSV generated at the Planck scale. Implications of existing data are discussed and prospects are presented having in mind next-generation experiments.
