Lorentz invariance violation and γ-ray propagation: Detectability by very-high-energy γ-detectors
Several models of (quantum) gravity predict tiny violations of Lorentz Invariance (LI) at microscopic (Planckian) scales, which increase with the energy of the probe and amplified with the distance of the source. Thus, astrophysical/cosmological energetic probes provide the best test grounds of LI....

| description | Several models of (quantum) gravity predict tiny violations of Lorentz Invariance (LI) at microscopic (Planckian) scales, which increase with the energy of the probe and amplified with the distance of the source. Thus, astrophysical/cosmological energetic probes provide the best test grounds of LI. The talk reviews the status and prospects of such tests, using high-energy cosmic γ detectors. The Ĉerenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is an excellent experimental tool for making such tests with sensitivities exceeding those possible using other detectors. |
