In theories with broken Lorentz symmetry, Cerenkov radiation may be possible even in vacuum. We analyze the Cerenkov emissions that are associated with the least constrained Lorentz-violating modifications of the photon sector, calculating the threshold energy, the frequency spectrum, and the shape of the Mach cone. In order to obtain sensible results for the total power emitted, we must make use of information contained within the theory which indicates at what scale new physics must enter.

  1. Vacuum Cherenkov radiation for nonminimal dimension-5 Lorentz violation

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Scattering Amplitudes and Resonant Processes in QED with Chiral Chemical Potential and Chiral Magnetic Conductivity

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    QED scattering amplitudes in a chiral medium with constant μ5 and b0 exhibit resonant behavior in multiple processes, with computed rates for 1→2 processes determining widths of fermion and photon states.
