F1000ResearchBackground 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.

A modified Lorentz theory as a test theory of special relativity
Foundations of Physics Letters, 1988 A modified Lorentz theory (MLT) based on the generalized Galilean transformation has recently received attention. In the framework of MLT, some explicit formulas dealing with the one-way velocity of light, slow-clock transport and the Doppler effect are derived in this paper. Several typical experiments are analyzed on this basis. The results show that

Experiment for testing special relativity theory [PDF]
Physics of Atomic Nuclei, 2009 An experiment aimed at testing special relativity via a comparison of the velocity of a non matter particle (annihilation photon) with the velocity of the matter particle (Compton electron) produced by the second annihilation photon from the decay Na-22(beta^+)Ne-22 is proposed.

A test theory of special relativity: III. Second-order tests
General Relativity and Gravitation, 1977 Various second-order optical tests of special relativity are discussed within the framework of the test theory developed previously. Owing to the low accuracy of the Kennedy-Thorndike experiment, the Lorentz contraction is known by direct experiments only to an accuracy of a few percent. To improve this-accuracy several experiments are suggested.

A test theory of special relativity: I. Simultaneity and clock synchronization
General Relativity and Gravitation, 1977 The role of convention in various definitions of clock synchronization and simultaneity is investigated. We show that two principal methods of synchronization can be considered: system internal and system external synchronization. Synchronization by the Einstein procedure and by slow clock transport turn out to be equivalent if and only if the time ...

A test theory of special relativity: II. First order tests
General Relativity and Gravitation, 1977 First-order tests of special relativity are based on a comparison of clocks synchronized with the help of slow clock transport with those synchronized by the Einstein procedure. This comparison enables the measurement of the one-way velocity of light and is equivalent to a measurement of the time dilatation factor.

KINEMATICAL TEST THEORIES FOR SPECIAL RELATIVITY: A COMPARISON
International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2002 A comparison of certain kinematical test theories for Special Relativity including the Robertson and Mansouri–Sext test theories is presented and the accuracy of the experimental results testing Special Relativity are expressed in terms of the parameters appearing in these test theories.
