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.
\n
\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 "\;superluminal neutrino
observation"\; from OPERA experiment.
