Abstract: (APS)
In this work, we propose a CPT-even and Lorentz-violating dimension-five nonminimal coupling between fermionic and gauge fields, involving the CPT-even and Lorentz-violating gauge tensor of the Standard Model extension. This nonminimal coupling modifies the Dirac equation, whose nonrelativistic regime is governed by a Hamiltonian which induces new effects, such as an electric-Zeeman-like spectrum splitting and an anomalouslike contribution to the electron magnetic moment, among others. Some of these new effects allow one to constrain the magnitude of this nonminimal coupling in 1 part in 1016 (eV)-1.
