Phys. Rev. D 73, 105006 (2006) [6 pages]Bose-Einstein condensates as a probe for Lorentz violationReceived 9 February 2006; published 5 May 2006 The effects of small Lorentz-violating terms on Bose-Einstein condensates are analyzed. We find that there are changes to the phase and shape of the ground-state wave function that vary with the orientation of the trap. In addition, spin couplings can act as a source for spontaneous symmetry breaking in ferromagnetic condensates making them sensitive probes for fundamental symmetry violation. © 2006 The American Physical Society URL:
