Theory for a Unidirectional Interferometric Test of Special Relativity
American Journal of Physics, 1971 An early criticism of the experimental background of special relativity theory was that the Michelson-Morley experiment was bidirectional in the moving frame. This experiment did not require that the velocity of light is constant in all Galilean frames, but only that the average to-and-fro velocities are constant. These objections were removed with the

A crucial experiment to test Einstein’s special relativity theory
Il Nuovo Cimento B Series 11, 1976 A crucial experiment is proposed to test the special relativity theory. It is based on the Mossbauer effect, and consists of mounting the source and absorber on two different rotors gyrating at the same speed, thus securing a relative speed between the two, while at the same time having both at the same absolute speed. It is able to distinguish between

How to test the special theory of relativity on the rotating earth
Physics Letters A, 1988 Abstract In the framework of a one-parameter test theory of special relativity, the difference between transport and Einstein synchronization on the rotating earth is calculated. For the special theory of relativity this difference vanishes. Therefore, experiments in which these synchronization procedures are compared test the special theory of ...

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.

Revised Robertson's test theory of special relativity: Space-time structure and dynamics
Foundations of Physics, 1986 The experimental testing of the Lorentz transformations is based on a family of sets of coordinate transformations that do not comply in general with the principle of equivalence of the inertial frames. The Lorentz and Galilean sets of transformations are the only member sets of the family that satisfy this principle.

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.

Proceedings of the Physical Society, 1965 Recently Furth proposed an experiment to test the theorem of the relativity of simultaneity of events. Using this theorem he shows that the proposed experiment will result in a measurable phase shift. He neglects, however, the Lorentz transformation for spatial coordinates, and it is shown here that when this transformation is included the phase shift ...

A comment on a proposed «crucial experiment» to test Einstein's special theory of relativity [PDF]
Il Nuovo Cimento B Series 11, 1976 A proposed «crucial experiment» to test Einstein's special theory of relativity is analysed and it is shown that it falls into the set of unsatisfactory proposals that attempt to make an experimental distinction between Einstein's special theory of relativity and a «Lorentzian type» special theory of relativity.

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.
