利用引力波探测器探测光子扇形洛伦兹破坏

Searching for photon-sector Lorentz violation using gravitational-wave detectors

Alan Kostelecky, Adrian C. Melissinos, Matthew Mewes

摘要:

我们研究了在引力波探测器中使用干涉仪作为寻找光子扇形违反洛伦兹对称性的工具的前景。现有的干涉仪被证明是非常敏感的微小变化发生在周围和低于微赫兹范围的频率,包括在谐波的频率的地球的恒星旋转和年度革命有关的洛伦兹对称性的测试的光的有效折射率。我们使用激光干涉引力波天文台(LIGO)在2006-2007年获得的初步数据,将约束系数洛伦兹违反光子部门超过电流限制约四个数量级。

英文摘要:

We study the prospects for using interferometers in gravitational-wave detectors as tools to search for photon-sector violations of Lorentz symmetry. Existing interferometers are shown to be exquisitely sensitive to tiny changes in the effective refractive index of light occurring at frequencies around and below the microhertz range, including at the harmonics of the frequencies of the Earth's sidereal rotation and annual revolution relevant for tests of Lorentz symmetry. We use preliminary data obtained by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2006-2007 to place constraints on coefficients for Lorentz violation in the photon sector exceeding current limits by about four orders of magnitude.
