We introduce an improved model that links the frequency shift of the $^{133}text{Cs}$ hyperfine Zeeman transitions $vert F = 3, m_F> longleftrightarrow vert F = 4, m_F >$ to the Lorentz-violating Standard-Model Extension (SME) coefficients of the proton and neutron. The new model uses Lorentz transformations developed to second order in boost and additionally takes the nuclear structure into account, beyond the simple Schmidt model used previously in SME analyses, thereby providing access to both proton and neutron SME coefficients including the isotropic coefficient $tilde{c}_{TT}$. Using this new model in a second analysis of the data delivered by the FO2 dual Cs/Rb fountain at Paris Observatory and previously analysed in arXiv:hep-ph/0601024v1, we improve by up to 12 orders of magnitude the present maximum sensitivities (see arXiv:0801.0287v9) on the $tilde{c}_{Q}$, $tilde{c}_{TJ}$ and $tilde{c}_{TT}$ coefficients for the neutron and on the $tilde{c}_{TT}$ coefficient for the proton, reaching respectively $10^{-20}$, $10^{-17}$, $10^{-13}$ and $10^{-15}$ GeV.
We report on a new experiment that tests for a violation of Lorentz invariance (LI), by searching for a dependence of atomic transition frequencies on the orientation of the spin of the involved states (Hughes-Drever type experiment). The atomic freq
Geometrical symmetry in a spacetime can generate test solutions to the Maxwell equation. We demonstrate that the source-free Maxwell equation is satisfied by any generator of spacetime self-similarity---a proper homothetic vector---identified with a
We explore the possibility that well known properties of the parity operator, such as its idempotency and unitarity, might break down at the Planck scale. Parity might then do more than just swap right and left polarized states and reverse the sign o
The Drell-Yan process provides important information on the internal structure of hadrons including transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs). In this work we present calculations for all leading twist structure functions des
I review some of the major developments in the theoretical background and experimental uses of binary pulsars to explore local Lorentz invariance in the gravitational sector and its possible violation.
