The Standard-Model Extension and Tests of Relativity

Abstract

The Standard-Model Extension, or SME, is a general framework for the study of Lorentz violation in physics. A broad variety of experiments is able to access the SME coefficient space. This proceedings briefly summarizes theory and experiments aimed at testing Special Relativity by measuring these coefficients.
