Symmetry, Volume 11, Issue 12

2019 December - 102 articles

Cover Story: A certain kind of small deviations from Lorentz symmetry can produce transition frequency shifts that depend on the direction of the orbital velocity of the Earth relative to a vector background Lorentz-violating field. As the Earth moves around the Sun, this can cause an annual variation of the atomic transition frequency. View this paper.
