Probing a Possible Vacuum Refractive Index with Gamma-Ray Telescopes

John Ellis, N. E. Mavromatos, D. V. Nanopoulos

We have used a stringy model of quantum space-time foam to suggest that the vacuum may exhibit a non-trivial refractive index depending linearly on gamma-ray energy: eta -1 ~ E_gam…
