Bound on Lorentz andCPTViolating Boost Effects for the Neutron

Abstract: A search for an annual variation of a daily sidereal modulation of the frequency difference between colocated 129Xe and 3He Zeeman masers sets a stringent limit on boost-dependent Lorentz and CPT violation involving the neutron, consistent with no effect at the level of 150 nHz. In the framework of the general standard-model extension, the present result provides the first clean test for the fermion sector of the symmetry of spacetime under boost transformations at a level of 10(-27) GeV.

“…We remark in passing that in the nonrelativistic limit β → 0, γ → 1 the háček coefficients (54) reduce to combinations of the standard cartesian tilde coefficients [5], yielding the correspondences b opportunity to sharpen the values in Table IX by about a factor of five. The energy dependence of the amplitudes (52) suggests that the Fermilab and J-PARC experiments will achieve approximately the same sidereal reach to the spherical coefficients with d ¼ 3, with the latter's sensitivity for d ≥ 4 suppressed by a factor of about 10 d−3 . However, the J-PARC experiment enjoys an additional improvement of a factor of about 10 in the sensitivity to certain coefficients that are accompanied by factors of 1=γ, such as b J in Eq.…”

“…The resulting bound on the equatorial componentsb n X andb n Y is at the level of 10 −31 GeV [26]. Recently, this group has placed the first limits on boost effects in the neutron sector of the SME [27]. This type of signal indicates Lorentz violation under boost transformations, and is suppressed by the ratio β ⊕ = v ⊕ /c = 9.9 × 10 −5 of the laboratory speed in the standard Sun frame relative to that of light.…”

“…Comagnetometry experiments also utilize two atomic species sharing the same volume. One such apparatus was used to create a highly accurate nuclear spin gyroscope [9], while other groups have used comagnetometers in searches for physics beyond the standard model, such as setting upper bounds on P,T-violating permanent electric dipole moment [10] as well as bounds on Lorentz and CPT violation [11].…”
