    Relativity tests by complementary rotating Michelson-Morley experiments

    Full text link
    We report Relativity tests based on data from two simultaneous Michelson-Morley experiments, spanning a period of more than one year. Both were actively rotated on turntables. One (in Berlin, Germany) uses optical Fabry-Perot resonators made of fused silica; the other (in Perth, Australia) uses microwave whispering-gallery sapphire resonators. Within the standard model extension, we obtain simultaneous limits on Lorentz violation for electrons (5 coefficients) and photons (8) at levels down to 101610^{-16}, improved by factors between 3 and 50 compared to previous work.Comment: 5 pages revtex, 2 figure
