Description
Quantum gravity has been an important open question fundamentally in Theoretical Physics until the recent understanding that some of its predicted effects may be observed with the current generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes, such as MAGIC.
In particular, Lorentz Invariance Violation due to an energy-dependent photon speed derived from some theories is expected to be measurable using gamma-rays coming from distant sources, since the effect is defined to be proportional to energy and cumulative with distance.
This talk is an introduction of phenomenological Quantum Gravity with Cherenkov telescopes, explaining all the steps from the theory, going through the choice of sources, to the final extraction of the desired information from the observational data.
