CPT AND LORENTZ SYMMETRY
Proceedings of the Fourth Meeting
Bloomington, USA 8 - 11 August 2007
edited by V Alan Kostelecký (Indiana University, USA)
This book contains the proceedings of the Fourth Meeting on CPT and Lorentz Symmetry, held at Indiana University in Bloomington on August 8–11, 2007. The Meeting focused on experimental tests of these fundamental symmetries and on important theoretical issues, including scenarios for possible relativity violations.
Experimental subjects covered include: astrophysical observations, clock-comparison measurements, cosmological birefringence, electromagnetic resonant cavities, gravitational tests, matter interferometry, muon behavior, neutrino oscillations, oscillations and decays of neutral mesons, particle-antiparticle comparisons, post-Newtonian gravity, space-based missions, spectroscopy of hydrogen and antihydrogen, and spin-polarized matter. Theoretical topics covered include: physical effects at the level of the Standard Model, General Relativity, and beyond; the possible origins and mechanisms for Lorentz and CPT violations; and associated issues in field theory, particle physics, gravity, and string theory. Contributors consist of the leading experts in this very active research field.
