    Neutrinos as probes of Lorentz invariance

    Get PDF
    Neutrinos can be used to search for deviations from exact Lorentz invariance. The worldwide experimental program in neutrino physics makes these particles a remarkable tool to search for a variety of signals that could reveal minute relativity violations. This paper reviews the generic experimental signatures of the breakdown of Lorentz symmetry in the neutrino sector.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures; Review article published in the special issue "Through Neutrino Eyes: The Search for New Physics" of Advances in High Energy Physic

    Lorentz and CPT violation in neutrino oscillations

    Full text link
    Neutrino oscillations in the presence of Lorentz violation can present novel observable signals in both long- and short-baseline experiments. In this talk we describe the theory and its different regimes depending on properties of the experiments. CPT violation, its systematic search and possible connections to latest results are also presented.Comment: Presented at the Fifth Meeting on CPT and Lorentz Symmetry, Bloomington, Indiana, June 28-July 2, 201

    Testing Lorentz and CPT invariance with neutrinos

    Full text link
    Neutrino experiments can be considered sensitive tools to test Lorentz and CPT invariance. Taking advantage of the great variety of neutrino experiments, including neutrino oscillations, weak decays, and astrophysical neutrinos, the generic experimental signatures of the breakdown of these fundamental symmetries in the neutrino sector are presented.Comment: 6 pages; accepted for publication in Symmetr
