The influence of Lorentz violation on UHE photon detection
arXiv:1307.8027 · doi:10.1142/9789814566438_0048
Abstract
We show that violation of the Lorentz symmetry in quantum electrodynamics can suppress the rates of the interactions crucial for the formation of photon-induced air showers, such as pair production on nuclei and in the geomagnetic field. As a consequence, the allowed region in the space of Lorentz-violating parameters will be seriously restricted if several photons with energies are detected.
