Particle Physics Seminar

"Neutrino tests of Lorentz invariance"

Presented by Matthew Mewes, Marquette University

Thursday, June 5, 2008, 2:00 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

Tiny deviations from perfect Lorentz and CPT invariance may provide the first hints of physics at the Planck scale. Over the last decade, a large number of experiments have went looking for these Lorentz violations. Light particles, such as neutrinos, are particularly sensitive to new physics and lead to some of the best tests of Lorentz and CPT invariance in any sector. I will present the theory behind Lorentz violation and the signatures of Lorentz violation in neutrino-oscillation experiments. The results of recent searches and future possibilities will be discussed.
