Testing for Lorentz Violation: Constraints on Standard-Model Extension Parameters via Lunar Laser Ranging

We present constraints on violations of Lorentz Invariance based on Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data. LLR measures the Earth-Moon separation by timing the round-trip travel of light between the two bodies, and is currently accurate to a few centimeters (parts in ${10}^{11}$ of the total distance). By analyzing archival LLR data under the Standard-Model Extension (SME) framework, we derived six observational constraints on dimensionless SME parameters that describe potential Lorentz-violation. We found no evidence for Lorentz violation at the ${10}^{-6}$ to ${10}^{-11}$ level in these parameters.
