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.

Revised Robertson's test theory of special relativity

Foundations of Physics, 1984
The only test theory used by workers in the field of testing special relativity to analyze the significance of their experiments is the proof by H. P. Robertson [Rev. Mod. Phys. 21, 378 (1949)] of the Lorentz transformations from the results of the experimental evidence.

Generalisation of the test theory of special relativity to non-inertial frames

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 1989
The authors present a generalised test theory of special relativity, using a non-inertial frame. Within the framework of the special theory of relativity the transport and Einstein synchronisations are equivalent on a rigidly rotating disc. But in any theory with a preferred frame, such an equivalence does not hold.

Test theories of special relativity

General Relativity and Gravitation, 1995
We review the Edwards transformation, and investigate the Robertson transformation and the Mansouri-Sexl (ms) transformation. It is shown that thems transformation is a generalization of the Robertson transformation, just as the Edwards transformation is a generalization of the Lorentz transformation.

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

Synchronisation conventions in test theories of special relativity

Foundations of Physics Letters, 1991
The Mansouri-Sexl class of test theories of special relativity has motivated various experiments to observe or limit the difference between slow clock transport and Einstein synchronisation. These do not constitute tests of the isotropy of the one-way speed of light, since the latter is conventional.

Equations of motion for a test particle in an external field in the special theory of relativity

Soviet Physics Journal, 1977
A study is made of the general-covariant equations of motion of Trautman for a particle interacting with an external field. It is shown that in the general case the relativistic equations of motion are not solvable for the acceleration four-vector but have the form aik(Dukds) = Fi.
