Abstract
We show that deformed relativistic kinematics, expected to emerge in a flat-spacetime limit of quantum gravity, predicts different lifetimes for particles and their antiparticles. This phenomenon is a consequence of Planck-scale modifications of the action of discrete symmetries. In particular we focus on deformations of the action of CPT derived from the κ-Poincaré algebra, the most studied example of Planck-scale deformation of relativistic symmetries. Looking at lifetimes of muons and anti-muons we are able to derive an experimental bound on the deformation parameter of κ≳4×1014 GeV from measurements at the LHC. Such bound has the potential to reach the value of κ≳2×1016 GeV using measurements at the planned Future Circular Collider (FCC).
