Rotating Resonator-Oscillator Experiments to Test Lorentz Invariance in Electrodynamics
arXiv:hep-ph/0506200 · doi:10.1007/3-540-34523-X_15
Abstract
In this work we outline the two most commonly used test theories (RMS and SME) for testing Local Lorentz Invariance (LLI) of the photon. Then we develop the general framework of applying these test theories to resonator experiments with an emphasis on rotating experiments in the laboratory. We compare the inherent sensitivity factors of common experiments and propose some new configurations. Finally we apply the test theories to the rotating cryogenic experiment at the University of Western Australia, which recently set new limits in both the RMS and SME frameworks [hep-ph/0506074].
