BREAKDOWN OF LORENTZ INVARIANCE FOR SPIN-1/2 PARTICLE MOTION IN CURVED SPACE-TIME WITH APPLICATIONS TO MUON DECAY

摘要

This contribution explores the possibility that the non-inertial motion of a spin-1/2 particle in curved space-time induces a frame-based violation of Lorentz invariance, as explicitly demonstrated for the case of muon decay while in circular motion near the event horizon of a microscopic Kerr black hole. In the absence of yet-to-be-determined quantum gravity effects, it is shown that kinematic and curvature contributions to the muon's decay spectrum result in muon stabilization at its Compton wavelength scale.
