Astroparticle tests of Lorentz symmetry — •Jorge Diaz — Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany

Lorentz symmetry is a cornerstone of modern physics. As the spacetime symmetry of special relativity, Lorentz invariance is a basic component of the standard model of particle physics and general relativity, which to date constitute our most successful descriptions of nature. Deviations from exact symmetry would radically change our view of the universe and current experiments allow us to test the validity of this assumption. In this talk, I will describe effects of Lorentz violation in cosmic rays and gamma rays that can be studied in current observatories.
