Field sources in a Lorentz symmetry breaking scenario with a single background vector
This paper is devoted to investigating the interactions between stationary
sources of the electromagnetic field, in a model which exhibits explicit
Lorentz-symmetry breaking due to the presence of a single background vector. We
focus on physical phenomena that emerge from this kind of breaking and which
have no counterpart in Maxwell Electrodynamics
Generation of higher derivatives operators and electromagnetic wave propagation in a Lorentz-violation scenario
We study the perturbative generation of higher-derivative operators as
corrections to the photon effective action, which are originated from a Lorentz
violation background. Such corrections are obtained, at one-loop order, through
the proper-time method, using the zeta function regularization. We focus over
the lowest order corrections and investigate their influence in the propagation
of electromagnetic waves through the vacuum, in the presence of a strong,
constant magnetic field. This is a setting of experimental relevance, since it
bases active efforts to measure non linear electromagnetic effects. After
surprising cancellations of Lorentz violating corrections to the Maxwell's
equation, we show that no effects of the kind of Lorentz violation we consider
can be detected in such a context.Comment: v2: 13 pages, no figures, section IV considerably rewritten, main

Phenomenology Tools on Cloud Infrastructures using OpenStack
We present a new environment for computations in particle physics
phenomenology employing recent developments in cloud computing. On this
environment users can create and manage "virtual" machines on which the
phenomenology codes/tools can be deployed easily in an automated way. We
analyze the performance of this environment based on "virtual" machines versus
the utilization of "real" physical hardware. In this way we provide a
qualitative result for the influence of the host operating system on the
performance of a representative set of applications for phenomenology
calculations.Comment: 25 pages, 12 figures; information on memory usage included, as well
