Search for Lorentz and CPT violation using sidereal time dependence of neutrino flavor transitions over a short baseline

2017
A class of extensions of the Standard Modelallows Lorentz and CPT violations, which can be identified by the observation of siderealmodulations in the neutrino interaction rate. A search for such modulations was performed using the T2K on-axis near detector. Two complementary methods were used in this study, both of which resulted in no evidence of a signal. Limits on associated Lorentz and CPT-violating terms from the Standard Model extensionhave been derived by taking into account their correlations in this model for the first time. These results imply such symmetry violations are suppressed by a factor of more than 1020 at the GeV scale.
