Constraint of d = 8 Lorentz Invariance Violation with New Experimental Design

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Short-range gravity experiments are more suitable for the testing of high-order Lorentz symmetry breaking effects. In our previous work, we proposed a new experimental design based on precision torsion balance technology to test the Lorentz violation force effect that varies inversely with the fourth power of distance (corresponding to mass dimension d = 6 term), and the corresponding experiment is currently underway. In this paper, we focus on analyzing the potential of this experimental scheme to test the Lorentz violation force that varies inversely with the sixth power of distance (corresponding to mass dimension d = 8 term). The results show that, compared with the current best limit, the new experimental scheme can improve the constraints on the Lorentz violation coefficients with d = 8 by at least one order of magnitude.
