Abstract · v1

We show how the argument exploited by Galaverni & Sigl in Phys. Rev. Lett., 100, 021102 (2008) (see also arXiv:0708.1737) to constrain Lorentz invariance violation (LV) using Ultra-High-Energy photon non observation by the AUGER experiment, can be extended to QED with Planck-suppressed LV (at order O(E/M)O(E/M) and O(E2/M2)O(E^2/M^2)). While the original constraints given by Galaverni & Sigl happen to be weakened, we show that, when used together with other EFT reactions and the expected detection of photons at E>1019E > 10^{19} eV by AUGER, this method has the potentiality not only to basically rule out order O(E/M)O(E/M) corrections but also to strongly constrain, for the first time, the CPT-even O(E2/M2)O(E^2/M^2) LV QED.
