Abstract

There are reasons (which we enumerate) to think that an infinite extra dimension will harbor a black hole. In this case, brane-localized modes of gravity and gauge fields become quasilocalized, and light from a distant object can become extinct as it is lost to the black hole. In a concrete scenario, where the photon is localized by gravity, we find that the extinction rate for propagating photons is at least comparable to the correction to the real part of the frequency. That results, for example, in a stringent bound on renormalization of the speed of light.

Astrophysical Bounds on Photons Escaping into Extra Dimensions

Journal Article Friedland, A. ; Giannotti, M. - Physical Review Letters

In a class of extra-dimensional models with a warped metric and a single brane the photon can be localized on the brane by gravity only. An intriguing feature of these models is the possibility of the photon escaping into the extra dimensions. The search for this effect has motivated the present round of precision ortho-positronium decay experiments. We point out that in this framework a photon in plasma should be metastable, and we consider what this implies for cooling of globular cluster stars and core-collapse supernovae. The resulting bounds on the model parameter exceed the possible reach of ortho-positronium experimentsmore » by many orders of magnitude.« less

Violations of Lorentz invariance in the neutrino sector: an improved analysis of anomalous threshold constraints

Journal Article Maccione, Luca ; Liberati, Stefano ; Mattingly, David M., E-mail: luca.maccione@lmu.de, E-mail: liberati@sissa.it, E-mail: david.mattingly@unh.edu - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Recently there has been a renewed activity in the physics of violations of Lorentz invariance in the neutrino sector. Flavor dependent Lorentz violation, which generically changes the pattern of neutrino oscillations, is extremely tightly constrained by oscillation experiments. Flavor independent Lorentz violation, which does not introduce new oscillation phenomena, is much more weakly constrained with constraints coming from time of flight and anomalous threshold analyses. We use a simplified rotationally invariant model to investigate the effects of finite baselines and energy dependent dispersion on anomalous reaction rates in long baseline experiments and show numerically that anomalous reactions do not necessarilymore »« less

Ultrahigh-Energy Photons as Probes of Lorentz Symmetry Violations in Stringy Space-Time Foam Models

Journal Article Maccione, Luca ; Liberati, Stefano ; INFN, Sezione di Trieste, Via Valerio, 2, I-34127, Trieste ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The time delays between {gamma} rays of different energies from extragalactic sources have often been used to probe quantum gravity models in which Lorentz symmetry is violated. It has been claimed that these time delays can be explained by or at least put the strongest available constraints on quantum gravity scenarios that cannot be cast within an effective field theory framework, such as the space-time foam, D-brane model. Here we show that this model would predict too many photons in the ultrahigh energy cosmic ray flux to be consistent with observations. The resulting constraints on the space-time foam model aremore »« less

Ultrahigh-Energy Photons as a Probe of Nearby Transient Ultrahigh-Energy Cosmic-Ray Sources and Possible Lorentz-Invariance Violation

Journal Article Murase, Kohta - Physical Review Letters

Detecting neutrinos and photons is crucial to identifying the sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), especially for transient sources. We focus on ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray emission from transient sources such as gamma-ray bursts, since >EeV gamma rays can be more direct evidence of UHECRs than approxPeV neutrinos and GeV-TeV gamma rays. We demonstrate that coincident detections of approx1-100 events can be expected by current and future UHECR detectors such as Auger and JEM-EUSO, and the detection probability can be higher than that of neutrinos for nearby transient sources at < or approx. 50-100 Mpc. They may be useful for constraining themore »« less

Constraints on violation of Lorentz invariance from atmospheric showers initiated by multi-TeV photons

Journal Article Rubtsov, Grigory ; Satunin, Petr ; Sibiryakov, Sergey, E-mail: grisha@ms2.inr.ac.ru, E-mail: satunin@ms2.inr.ac.ru, E-mail: Sergey.Sibiryakov@cern.ch - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Parameterizing hypothetical violation of Lorentz invariance at high energies using the framework of effective quantum field theory, we discuss its effect on the formation of atmospheric showers by very-high-energy gamma rays. In the scenario where Lorentz invariance violation leads to a decrease of the photon velocity with energy the formation of the showers is suppressed compared to the Lorentz invariant case. Absence of such suppression in the high-energy part of spectrum of the Crab nebula measured independently by HEGRA and H.E.S.S. collaborations is used to set lower bounds on the energy scale of Lorentz invariance violation. These bounds are competitivemore »« less
