Top Hadrons in Lorentz-Violating Field Theory

Abstract

If there is Lorentz symmetry violation in the $t$ quark sector of the standard model, changes to particles' dispersion relations might allow for the existence of stable top-flavored hadrons. Observations of the survival of high-energy $\gamma$-rays over astrophysical distances can be used to place one-sided constraints on certain linear combinations of Lorentz violation coefficients in the $t$ sector at the $\sim 10^{-4}$ level of precision.
