Abstract
Experiments using macroscopic samples of spin-polarized matter offer except ional sensitivity to Lorentz and CPT violation in the electron sector. Data from existing experiments with a spin-polarized torsion pendulum provide s ensitivity in this sector rivaling that of all other existing experiments a nd could reveal spontaneous violation of Lorentz symmetry at the Planck sca le.
