Abstract

We propose to investigate the potentialities of CTA to detect a Lorentz Invariance Viola-tion signal. This project is focused on the astrophysical modelling of the signal and thebackground with the aim to search for the best sources candidates and the best analyisismethods. Before CTA is taking data, we are going to work on common analysis of the currentexperiments (Fermi, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, VERITAS, AMS-02 etc). The idea is to improvethe limits by combined analysis and at the same time start to develop new methods to beused with CTA data when available.
