Isotropic dimension-5 Lorentz violation in fermions is constrained to below 1e-18 GeV^-1 (proton, m-type) and 3e-28 GeV^-1 (proton, a-type) by the absence of vacuum Cherenkov radiation in cosmic rays.

abstract
The power and the probability of electromagnetic radiation from an electron in a constant background tensor field violating Lorentz invariance are calculated. The case of a background field of the quasielectric type is considered. The angular distribution and the polarization of the radiation are studied. Using present experimental constraints on the background field strength, it is shown that the radiation effect can manifest itself under astrophysical conditions at ultrahigh electron energy.

Vacuum Cherenkov radiation for nonminimal dimension-5 Lorentz violation
Isotropic dimension-5 Lorentz violation in fermions is constrained to below 1e-18 GeV^-1 (proton, m-type) and 3e-28 GeV^-1 (proton, a-type) by the absence of vacuum Cherenkov radiation in cosmic rays.
