Low energy tests of gravitational and quantum mechanical principles

Abstract

Abstract. We analyze the possibilities that the methods of statistical mechanics could offer us in the context of precision tests. The properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a Lorentz violating scenario, characterized by a deformation in the dispersion relation, will be studied. Similarly, the possibility of detecting the temperature of a freely falling Bose-Einstein condensate, as a test for the Einstein Equivalence Principle will be addressed.
