Cavity Bounds on Higher-Order Lorentz-Violating Coefficients
Abstract
We determine the sensitivity of a modern Michelson-Morley resonant-cavity experiment to higher-order nonbirefringent and nondispersive coefficients of the Lorentz-violating standard-model extension. Data from a recent year-long run of the experiment are used to place the first experimental bounds on coefficients associated with nonrenormalizable Lorentz-violating operators.
