Tests of Lorentz Symmetry in Single Beta Decay

Tests of Lorentz Symmetry in Single Beta Decay

Low-energy experiments studying single beta decay can serve as sensitive probes of Lorentz invariance that can complement interferometric searches for deviations from this spacetime symmetry. Experimental signatures of a dimension-three operator for Lorentz violation which are unobservable in neutr...
