Abstract
The derivation of cross sections and decay rates in the Lorentz-violating S tandard Model extension is discussed. General features of the physics are d escribed, and some conceptual and calculational issues are addressed. As an illustrative example, the cross section for the specific process of electr on-positron pair annihilation into two photons is obtained. (C) 2001 Publis hed by Elsevier Science B.V.
