Effects of a CPT-even and Lorentz-violating nonminimal coupling on the electron-positron scattering

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We propose a new \emph{CPT}-even and Lorentz-violating nonminimal coupling between fermions and Abelian gauge fields involving the CPT-even tensor (KF)μναβ(K_{F})_{μναβ} of the standard model extension. We thus investigate its effects on the cross section of the electron-positron scattering by analyzing the process e++e−→μ++μ−e^{+}+e^{-}\rightarrowμ^{+}+μ^{-}. Such a study was performed for the parity-odd and parity-even nonbirefringent components of the Lorentz-violating (KF)μναβ(K_{F})_{μναβ} tensor. Finally, by using experimental data available in the literature, we have imposed upper bounds as tight as 10−12(eV)−110^{-12}(eV)^{-1} on the magnitude of the CPT-even and Lorentz-violating parameters while nonminimally coupled.
