Search for Lorentz and CPT Violation Effects in Muon Spin Precession

preprint2008arXivOpen access

Abstract

The spin precession frequency of muons stored in the (g−2)(g-2) storage ring has been analyzed for evidence of Lorentz and CPT violation. Two Lorentz and CPT violation signatures were searched for: a nonzero ΔωaΔω_{a} (=ωaμ+−ωaμ−ω_{a}^{μ^{+}}-ω_{a}^{μ^{-}}); and a sidereal variation of ωaμ±ω_{a}^{μ^{\pm}}. No significant effect is found, and the following limits on the standard-model extension parameters are obtained: bZ=−(1.0±1.1)×10−23b_{Z} =-(1.0 \pm 1.1)\times 10^{-23} GeV; (mμdZ0+HXY)=(1.8±6.0×10−23)(m_μd_{Z0}+H_{XY}) = (1.8 \pm 6.0 \times 10^{-23}) GeV; and the 95% confidence level limits bˇ⊥μ+<1.4×10−24\check{b}_{\perp}^{μ^{+}}< 1.4 \times 10^{-24} GeV and bˇ⊥μ−<2.6×10−24\check{b}_{\perp}^{μ^{-}} < 2.6 \times 10^{-24} GeV.
