Bound on Lorentz and C P T Violating Boost Effects for the Neutron
Open accessAbstract
A search for an annual variation of a daily sidereal modulation of the frequency difference between colocated $^{129}\mathrm{X}\mathrm{e}$ and $^{3}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{e}$ Zeeman masers sets a stringent limit on boost-dependent Lorentz and $CPT$ violation involving the neutron, consistent with no effect at the level of 150 nHz. In the framework of the general standard-model extension, the present result provides the first clean test for the fermion sector of the symmetry of spacetime under boost transformations at a level of ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}27}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}$.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
