A Lorentz variant theory that passes fundamental tests of special relativity and makes diverging, testable but as of yet untested predictions [PDF]
Background: Tests of special relativity have been conducted over the past century with increasing accuracy and none have showed violations of Lorentz invariance. In this paper we will examine whether these tests are together sufficient to rule out theories that violate observational symmetry.

Possible experiments to test Einstein's Special Relativity Theory [PDF]
All of the experiments supporting Einstein's Special Relativity Theory are also supportive of the Lorentz ether theory, or many other ether theories. However, a growing number of experiments show deviations from Einstein's Special Relativity Theory, but are supporting more extended theories.

Some Dynamical Aspects of a Test Theory of Special Relativity [PDF]
Kinematically viable space-time theories admitting a velocity-dependent dilatation factor in addition to the Lorentz transformation between the inertial systems are considered. It is shown that these theories are very unsatisfactory, in the sense of leading neither to a unique definition of time nor to a unique formulation of a dynamics. As an example,

A Crucial Test for Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity Against the Lorentz-Poincaré Ether Theory of Relativity [PDF]
A crucial experiment is proposed which should decide between Einstein’s interpretation of the Lorentz transformations, where the relativistic effects are explained as the result of space-time transformations, and the alternative interpretation by Lorentz and Poincare, where all the same effects are explained by real physical deformations of bodies in ...

Proposal for an experiment to test the simultaneity theorem of the special theory of relativity [PDF]
e indirect evidence for the existence of the Lorentz `local time' effect, which is also a feature of the special theory of relativity, is discussed and a fairly simple direct experiment, using radio waves in the centimetre region, for testing the theorem of the relativity of simultaneity of events is proposed.

Thoroughly Testing Einstein’s Special Relativity Theory, and More
Einstein’s Special Relativity (ESR) has enjoyed spectacular success as a mathematical construct and in terms of the experiments to which it has been subjected. Possible vulnerabilities of ESR will be explored that break the symmetry of reciprocal observations of length, time, and mass. It is shown how Newton could also have derived length contraction .

In a recent paper Furth has proposed an experiment in which he predicts that a positive result of first order in v/c will be observed, caused by the difference in local time of two observers in uniform relative motion. It is shown that, if the special theory is correct, the phenomenon predicted by Furth would not be observed.
