洛伦兹破坏的探讨

Probes of Lorentz Violation

John Ellis, Nick E. Mavromatos

摘要:

洛伦兹不变性是基础物理学中如此重要的一个原理,它应该不断地受到实验的检验和理论的质疑。具有快速时间变化的高能光子的遥远天体物理源,如活动星系核(AGN)和伽马射线爆发(GRB),为测试洛伦兹不变性提供了理想的实验机会。切伦科夫望远镜阵列(CTA)是一个很好的实验工具,可以进行这种测试,其灵敏度超过了使用其他探测器的可能性。

英文摘要:

Lorentz invariance is such an important principle of fundamental physics that it should constantly be subjected to experimental scrutiny as well as theoretical questioning. Distant astrophysical sources of energetic photons with rapid time variations, such as active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and gamma-ray bursters (GRBs), provide ideal experimental opportunities for testing Lorentz invariance. The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is an excellent experimental tool for making such tests with sensitivities exceeding those possible using other detectors.
