Lorentz-symmetry test at Planck-scale suppression with nucleons in a spin-polarized ¹³³Cs cold atom clock
read the original abstract
We introduce an improved model that links the frequency shift of the $^{133}\text{Cs}$ hyperfine Zeeman transitions $\vert F = 3, m_F> \longleftrightarrow \vert F = 4, m_F >$ to the Lorentz-violating Standard-Model Extension (SME) coefficients of the proton and neutron. The new model uses Lorentz transformations developed to second order in boost and additionally takes the nuclear structure into account, beyond the simple Schmidt model used previously in SME analyses, thereby providing access to both proton and neutron SME coefficients including the isotropic coefficient $\tilde{c}_{TT}$. Using this new model in a second analysis of the data delivered by the FO2 dual Cs/Rb fountain at Paris Observatory and previously analysed in arXiv:hep-ph/0601024v1, we improve by up to 12 orders of magnitude the present maximum sensitivities (see arXiv:0801.0287v9) on the $\tilde{c}_{Q}$, $\tilde{c}_{TJ}$ and $\tilde{c}_{TT}$ coefficients for the neutron and on the $\tilde{c}_{TT}$ coefficient for the proton, reaching respectively $10^{-20}$, $10^{-17}$, $10^{-13}$ and $10^{-15}$ GeV.

Lorentz and CPT violation and the hydrogen and antihydrogen molecular ions I -- rovibrational states
Rovibrational transitions in H₂⁺ offer O(m_p/m_e) enhanced sensitivity to spin-independent Lorentz/CPT violation in the proton sector relative to atomic 1S-2S transitions.
