Cosmic Rays and the Search for a Lorentz Invariance Violation
by Wolfgang Bietenholz
Publisher: arXiv 2008
Number of pages: 81
Description:
This is an introductory review about the on-going search for a signal of Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) in cosmic rays. The author first summarizes basic aspects of cosmic rays, focusing on rays of ultra high energy (UHECRs).
