Lorentz and CPT Violation in Heavy Quark Physics

Abstract

Violations of the Lorentz and CPT symmetries can appear as observable effects in the direct production of top quarks and their subsequent decays. Earlier results for the $q\bar{q}$ production process for $t\bar{t}$ pairs have been extended to include the gluon fusion process which dominates at the LHC. In addition results are obtained for testing CPT symmetry through single top quark production.
