Abstract

We report results of a search for CPT and Lorentz violation in B-0-(B) over bar (0) oscillations using inclusive dilepton events from 232x10(6) Upsilon(4S)-> B (B) over bar decays recorded by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B Factory at SLAC. We find 2.8 sigma significance, compatible with no signal, for variations in the complex CPT violation parameter z at the Earth's sidereal frequency and extract values for the quantities Delta a(mu) in the general Lorentz-violating standard-model extension. The spectral powers for variations in z over the frequency range 0.26 yr(-1) to 2.1 solar day(-1) are also compatible with no signal.
