Abstract

We report relativity tests based on data from two simultaneous Michelson-Morley experiments, spanning a period of more than 1 yr. Both were actively rotated on turntables. One (in Berlin, Germany) uses optical Fabry-Perot resonators made of fused silica; the other (in Perth, Australia) uses microwave whispering-gallery sapphire resonators. Within the standard model extension, we obtain simultaneous limits on Lorentz violation for electrons (5 coefficients) and photons (8) at levels down to 10(-16), improved by factors between 3 and 50 compared to previous work.

摘要

我们报告了基于两个同时进行的迈克尔逊 - 莫雷实验数据的相对论测试，实验持续时间超过1年。两个实验装置都在转台上进行了主动旋转。一个（位于德国柏林）使用由熔融石英制成的光学法布里 - 珀罗谐振器；另一个（位于澳大利亚珀斯）使用微波回音壁蓝宝石谐振器。在标准模型扩展框架内，我们同时获得了电子（5个系数）和光子（8个系数）洛伦兹违反的限制，低至10^(-16)水平，与之前的工作相比，改进因子在3到50之间。
