Descripción
The possibility of anisotropies in the speed of light relative to the
limiting speed of electrons is considered. The absence of sidereal
variations in the energy of Compton-edge photons at the European
Synchrotron Radiation Facility’s GRAAL facility constrains such
anisotropies representing the first nonthreshold collision-kinematics
study of Lorentz violation. When interpreted within the minimal
standard-model extension, this result yields the two-sided limit of
1.6×10-14 at 95% confidence level on a combination of
the parity-violating photon and electron coefficients
(κ˜o+)YZ,
(κ˜o+)ZX, cTX, and
cTY. This new constraint provides an improvement over
previous bounds by 1 order of magnitude.
