Perturbative Lorentz and CPT violation for neutrino and antineutrino oscillations
arXiv:0908.1401 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.80.076007
Abstract
The effects of perturbative Lorentz and CPT violation on neutrino oscillations are studied. Features include neutrino-antineutrino oscillations, direction dependence, and unconventional energy behavior. Leading-order corrections arising from renormalizable operators are derived in the general three-flavor effective field theory. The results are applied to neutrino-beam experiments with long baselines, which offer excellent sensitivity to the accompanying effects. Key signatures of Lorentz and CPT violation using neutrino beams include sidereal variations in the oscillation probabilities arising from the breakdown of rotational symmetry, and CPT asymmetries comparing neutrino and antineutrino modes. Attainable sensitivities to coefficients for Lorentz violation are estimated for several existing and future experiments.
