I. INTRODUCTION
The principle of Lorentz Invariance is at the heart of the contemporary formulation of
physical theory, in particular the Standard Model and general relativity. Given the central-
ity of Lorentz Invariance (LI) it is wise to explore as many avenues as possible that test
this principle. One avenue investigated in recent years is the physics of modified dispersion
relations (MDR). A remarkable result of these studies is that astrophysical data significantly
limit Planck scale - suppressed modifications (see e.g. [1, 2] for reviews). The successful
limits on the modifications are due to the high degree of sensiti
