Particle-antiparticle asymmetry in a relativistic deformed kinematics
arXiv:2106.05904 · doi:10.3390/sym13071266
Abstract
Relativistic deformed kinematics are usually considered as a way to capture residual effects of a fundamental quantum gravity theory. These kinematics present a non-commutative addition law for the momenta, so that the total momentum of a multi-particle system depends on the specific ordering in which the momenta are composed. We explore in the present work how this property may be used to generate an asymmetry between particles and antiparticles through a particular ordering prescription, resulting in a violation of CPT symmetry. We study its consequences for muon decay, obtaining a difference in the lifetimes of the particle and the antiparticle as a function the new high-energy scale parameterizing such a relativistic deformed kinematics.
