Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider Can Test Detector Coherence

Testing Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) is notoriously difficult, as its characteristic energy scale typically lies beyond current experimental reach. Applying this to the polymer-quantized scalar field theory, results show detector’s quantum coherence exhibits a pronounced dependence on rapidity and undergoes a sharp transition near a critical rapidity, a value within reach of existing facilities like the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.
