Astroparticle Physics Tests of Lorentz Invariance Violation

Understand

Testing Lorentz invariance is essential as it is one of the pillars of modern physics.

• Moreover, its violation is foreseen in several popular Quantum Gravity models.
• Several authors study the effects of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) in the propagation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays.
• These particles are the most energetic events ever detected and therefore represent a promising framework to test LIV.
