Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of the potential to detect Lorentz violation through top pair production at current and future collider energies.

Findings

Impact of collider energy on Lorentz violation detection.

Framework application for future collider experiments.

Abstract

This article presents prospects for Lorentz-violation searches with $t\bar{t}$ at the LHC and future colliders. After a short presentation of the Standard-Model Extension as a Lorentz-symmetry-breaking effective field theory, we will focus on $t\bar{t}$ production. We study the impact of Lorentz violation as a function of center-of-mass energy and evaluate the sensitivity of collider experiments to this signal.
