Top Hadrons in Lorentz-Violating Field Theory
Abstract
If there is Lorentz symmetry violation in the t quark sector of the standard model, changes to particles' dispersion relations might allow for the existence of stable top-flavored hadrons. Observations of the survival of high-energy γ-rays over astrophysical distances can be used to place one-sided constraints on certain linear combinations of Lorentz violation coefficients in the t sector at the 10-4 level of precision.
