SUMMARY:Tests of Lorentz Invariance with Neutrinos\, NPAC (Nuclear/Par
 ticle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Teppei Katori\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:Lorentz violation is a predicted signal from Planck scale 
 physics. Since neutrino oscillation experiments are natural interferom
 eters\, they may be sensitive to small space-time effect\, such as Lor
 entz violation through their sidereal time dependence. The sensitivity
  is comparable to precision optical measurements (10E-19 GeV). Thus\, 
 neutrino oscillations may be the first place where we see Lorentz and 
 CPT violation.<br><br>
\n<br><br>
\nRecently the MiniBooNE neutrino os
 cillation experiment published electron and anti-electron neutrino app
 earance oscillation results that cannot be understood within the accep
 ted three-massive-neutrinos oscillation model. In this talk\, I will i
 ntroduce Lorentz violation and Lorentz violating neutrino oscillations
 . Then\, I examine whether the MiniBooNE data may be explained through
  a Lorentz violation model. Finally\, I discuss how these results and 
 other Lorentz violation tests address the &quot\;superluminal neutrino
  observation&quot\; from OPERA experiment.<br><br>
