Long-baseline neutrino experiments as tests for Lorentz violation

Abstract

Precise tests of Lorentz invariance can be executed using neutrino oscillations, which can provide sensitive measurements of suppressed signals of new physics. This talk describes the neutrino sector of the Standard-Model Extension, which represents a general modification of the Standard Model of massive neutrinos to include Lorentz and CPT violation. Attainable sensitivities as well as a framework to search for these violations are presented for existing and future long-baseline neutrino experiments. The applicability of this framework to short-baseline experiments is also discussed.
