Effects of a CPT-even and Lorentz-violating nonminimal coupling on the electron-positron scattering

We propose a new \emph{CPT}-even and Lorentz-violating nonminimal coupling between fermions and Abelian gauge fields involving the CPT-even tensor $(K_{F})_{μναβ}$ of the standard model extension. We thus investigate its effects on the cross section of the electron-positron scattering by analyzing the process $e^{+}+e^{-}\rightarrowμ^{+}+μ^{-}$. Such a study was performed for the parity-odd and parity-even nonbirefringent components of the Lorentz-violating $(K_{F})_{μναβ}$ tensor. Finally, by using experimental data available in the literature, we have imposed upper bounds as tight as $10^{-12}(eV)^{-1}$ on the magnitude of the CPT-even and Lorentz-violating parameters while nonminimally coupled.

Lorentz violation bounds on Bhabha scattering

We investigate the effect of Lorentz-violating terms on Bhabha scattering in two distinct cases correspondent to vectorial and axial nonminimal couplings in QED. In both cases, we find significant modifications with respect to the usual relativistic result. Our results reveal an anisotropy of the differential cross section which imply new constraints on the possible Lorentz violating terms.
