Matter Phenomenology in Quantum Gravity  

Particle Properties and Propagation > s.a. effects on photons; hadrons [proton decay]; modified lorentz symmetry; neutrino; neutron.
* Idea: Quantum spacetime fluctuations affect light and particle propagation, masses, and possibly other properties, and some effects can be seen as a violation of Lorentz symmetry; relative corrections are typically of order (fund/)2.
* History: First proposal of modified dispersion relations may have been the 1971 paper by Kirzhnits & Chechin about the absence of a GZK cutoff in the UHECR spectrum.
