Tests of CPT and Lorentz symmetry from muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment

Abstract

We derive the relativistic factor for splitting of the g-factors of a fermion and its anti-fermion partner, which is important for placing constraints on dimension-5, CPT-odd and Lorentz-invariance-violating interactions from experiments performed in a cyclotron. From existing data, we extract limits (1σ) on the coupling strengths of the temporal component, f0, of a background field (including the field amplitude), which is responsible for such g-factor splitting, with an electron, proton, and muon: |f0e|< 2.3 × 10-12 ~μB, |f0p|< 4 × 10-9 ~μB, and |f0μ|< 8 × 10-11 ~μB, respectively, in the laboratory frame. From existing data, we also extract limits on the coupling strengths of the spatial components, d, of related dimension-5 interactions of a background field with an electron, proton, neutron, and muon: | de | 10-9 ~μB, | dp | 10-9 ~μB, | dn | 10-10 ~μB, and | dμ | 10-9 ~μB, respectively, in the laboratory frame.
