Compton Edge probing basic physics at Jefferson Laboratory: light speed isotropy and Lorentz invariance [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1706.08907


We propose to study of the light speed isotropy and Lorentz invariance at Jefferson Laboratory by means of the measurements of the Compton Edge using of the Hall A/C existing experimental setup. Methodologically the same experiment has already been successfully elaborated at GRAAL experiment at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble with 6 GeV electron beam. This Proposal states two goals expected to be reached at Jefferson Laboratory, both on Lorentz invariance: (a) the one-way light speed isotropy testing accuracy, following from conservative evaluations at numerical simulations, to about an order of magnitude better than was GRAAL’s; (b) the dependence of the light speed on the velocity of the apparatus (Kennedy-Thorndike measurement) will be traced to an accuracy about 3 orders of magnitudes better than the available limits.
