Effects of the Lorentz invariance violation in Coulomb interaction in nuclei and atoms
arXiv:1610.08188 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.142501
Abstract
Anisotropy in the speed of light that has been constrained by Michelson-Morley-type experiments also generates anisotropy in the Coulomb interactions. This anisotropy can manifest itself as an energy anisotropy in nuclear and atomic experiments. Here the experimental limits on Lorentz violation in 21Ne are used to improve the limits on the Lorentz symmetry in the photon sector, namely the anisotropy of the speed of light and the Coulomb interactions, by 7 orders of magnitude in comparison with previous experiments: the speed of light is isotropic to a part in E-28.
Calculation of the effect of anisotropy in the Coulomb interactions in the electron sector has been added in v2
