On measurement of the isotropy of the speed of light
B. Wojtsekhowski
TL;DR
This paper proposes three experimental methods to test whether the speed of light is isotropic, aiming to detect any directional dependence that could challenge fundamental physics assumptions.
Contribution
It introduces three novel experimental concepts for measuring potential anisotropy of the speed of light, expanding the approaches beyond traditional tests.
Findings
Proposes beam deflection in a magnetic arc as a test method.
Suggests using resonance production in colliders for anisotropy detection.
Analyzes magnetic moment ratios of electrons and positrons for directional dependence.
Abstract
Three experimental concepts investigating possible anisotropy of the speed of light are presented. They are based on i) beam deflection in a 180 degree magnetic arc, ii) narrow resonance production in an electron-positron collider, and iii) the ratio of magnetic moments of an electron and a positron moving in opposite directions.
