CPT AND LORENTZ SYMMETRY

June 28-July 2, 2010

Indiana University, Bloomington

The Fifth Meeting on CPT and Lorentz Symmetry will be held in the Physics Department, Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, U.S.A. on June 28-July 2, 2010. The meeting will focus on tests of these fundamental symmetries and on related theoretical issues, including scenarios for possible violations.

Topics include:

• searches for CPT and Lorentz violations involving
  • birefringence and dispersion from cosmological sources
  • clock-comparison measurements
  • CMB polarization
  • collider experiments
  • electromagnetic resonant cavities
  • equivalence principle
  • gauge and Higgs particles
  • high-energy astrophysical observations
  • laboratory and gravimetric tests of gravity
  • matter interferometry
  • neutrino oscillations
  • oscillations and decays of K, B, D mesons
  • particle-antiparticle comparisons
  • post-newtonian gravity in the solar system and beyond
  • second- and third-generation particles
  • space-based missions
  • spectroscopy of hydrogen and antihydrogen
  • spin-polarized matter


• theoretical studies of CPT and Lorentz violation involving
  • physical effects at the level of the Standard Model, General Relativity, and beyond
  • origins and mechanisms for violations
  • classical and quantum issues in field theory, particle physics, gravity, and strings
