Adding three extreme GRB photons preserves the fitted Lorentz-violation scale E_LV ~ 3e17 GeV, but only when an energy-dependent intrinsic delay term, itself a fitting construct, absorbs the new TeV photons.

abstract
The constancy of light speed is a basic assumption in Einstein's special relativity, and consequently the Lorentz invariance is a fundamental symmetry of space-time in modern physics. However, it is speculated that the speed of light becomes energy-dependent due to the Lorentz invariance violation~(LV) in various new physics theories. We analyse the data of the energetic photons from the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, and find more events to support the energy dependence in the light speed with both linear and quadratic form corrections. We provide two scenarios to understand all the new-released Pass~8 data of bright GRBs by the Fermi-LAT Collaboration, with predictions from such scenarios being testable by future detected GRBs.

Examining Lorentz invariance violation with three remarkable GRB photons
Adding three extreme GRB photons preserves the fitted Lorentz-violation scale E_LV ~ 3e17 GeV, but only when an energy-dependent intrinsic delay term, itself a fitting construct, absorbs the new TeV photons.
