The authors' main claim In terms of the Robertson-Mansouri-Sexl theory, we obtain $\beta-\delta-1/2=(+0.5\pm 3\pm 0.7) E-10$, a ten-fold improvement compared to the previous best results.

The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

A test of Lorentz invariance for electromagnetic waves was performed by comparing the resonance frequencies of two optical resonators as a function of orientation in space. In terms of the Robertson-Mansouri-Sexl theory, we obtain $\beta-\delta-1/2=(+0.5\pm 3\pm 0.7) E-10$, a ten-fold improvement compared to the previous best results. We also set a first upper limit for a so far unknown parameter of the Standard Model Extension test theory, $|(\tilde{\kappa}_{e-})^{ZZ}| < 2\cdot E-14$.

  • Therefore this non-trivial level of consistency, between different experiments and with a theoretical prediction formulated before the experiments were performed, supports the conclusion that a non-zero anisotropy of the speed of light in the vacuum has actually been measured with values of the anisotropy parameter that are one order of magnitude larger than those quoted by the authors of Refs. [ref] .
