Abstract
An overview is given of recent and ongoing experiments constraining Lorentz violation in the spin-coupling sector, with particular focus on the author’s tests of Lorentz symmetry using a129Xe/3He Zeeman maser and an atomic hydrogen maser.

Because spin-exchange collisions preserve the colliding atoms’ total angular momentum, the spin decoherence Effects of such collisions are eliminated in the limit that the collision frequency is much greater than the Larmor spin-precession frequency (i.e., the Zeeman frequency) in an applied magnetic .eld.
