Description

We are investigating the consequence of the Local Lorentz Invariance breakdown, as predicted in the Deformed Space-Time (DST) theory.

We have mainly studied the effects in strong and weak nuclear reactions. Effects are observed that could be out of the predictions of the so-called Standard Model.

Now our main focus is on weak nuclear and electro-magnetic interactions.

Due to the novelty of the subject, clear distinctions about which interaction is operating in the single experiment is not yet easily feasible and the reaction chain which can occur cannot yet be forecast in advance.

The current activity aims to perform systematic studiesand check theirrepeatability, in order to be able to make predictions on future results. In fact, new general criteria for future rules in nuclear DST-reactions were already outlined in our papers.

In particular, the Electromagnetic interaction is the main field to explore.
