“…Over the past two decades, since the publication of [1], considerable effort has been put by many experimental collaborations into constraining different forms of Lorentz violation, and specifically a linear coefficient M 1 in the velocity v of energetic photons: ∆v = −E/M 1 , using distant time-dependent astrophysical sources of energetic photons such as pulsars, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs). However, analyses of possible Lorentz violation in photon propagation have been beset by difficulties in disentangling intrinsic time delays in the sources from time delays accumulated during propagation, and we consider that the strongest robust limit on M 1 for photons is between 10 17 and 10 18 GeV [2]. There have also been analyses of possible Lorentz violation in neutrino propagation from Supernova 1987A and in a terrestrial neutrino beam, but these are sensitive only to M 1 ∼ 2 × 10 11 GeV and potentially ∼ 4 × 10 8 GeV, respectively [3].…”
