Prospects for Testing Lorentz and CPT Invariance in the Top-Quark Sector

Abstract

We present how to further the search for Lorentz and CPT violation in the top-quark sector after the first measurement in this sector by D0. We compute the Lorentz-violating matrix element for top pair production via gluon fusion, which allows a similar but more precise measurement at the LHC. For CPT violation, we analyze single-top production, derive the modified matrix elements, and predict possible signals.
