Abstract
The Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP) is a founding principle of relativity [1]. One of the constituent elements of EEP is Local Lorentz Invariance (LLI), which postulates that the outcome of a local experiment is independent of the velocity and orientation of the apparatus. The central importance of this postulate has motivated tremendous work to experimentally test LLI. Also, a number of unification theories suggest a violation of LLI at some level. However, to test for violations it is necessary to have an alternative theory to allow interpretation of experiments [1], and many have been developed [2–7]. The kinematical frameworks (RMS) [2, 3] postulate a simple parameterization of the Lorentz transformations with experiments setting limits on the deviation of those parameters from their values in special relativity (SR). Because of their simplicity they have been widely used to interpret many experiments [8–11]. More recently, a general Lorentz violating extension of the standard model of particle physics (SME) has been developed [6] whose Lagrangian includes all parameterized Lorentz violating terms that can be formed from known fields.
