With the mass-energy \(m=E(v=0)/c^{2}\) relation, all pivotal properties of special relativity have been now derived and we consider the related status of SR tests. 1) There are direct tests exploring i) the speed of light in different context, ii) the time dilation, iii) the body contraction, and iv) mass-energy relation.

A new experimental test of special relativity
Il Nuovo Cimento B Series 10, 1969Although the special theory of relativity is almost generally accepted as a verified theory, existing experiments cannot distinguish it from a number of other rival theories that assume the existence of a preferred frame of reference (ether), and physical Lorentz contractions.

KINEMATICAL TEST THEORIES FOR SPECIAL RELATIVITY: A COMPARISON
International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2002A 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.

Improved Test of Time Dilation in Special Relativity
Physical Review Letters, 2003An improved test of time dilation in special relativity has been performed using laser spectroscopy on fast ions at the heavy-ion storage-ring TSR in Heidelberg. The Doppler-shifted frequencies of a two-level transition in 7Li+ ions at v=0.064c have been measured in the forward and backward direction to an accuracy of Deltanu/nu=1 x 10(-9) using ...

Critical reviews and tests of the foundations of special relativity [PDF]
Foundations of Physics Letters, 1988 The origin of the equilibrium paradoxes of special relativity is here analysed. We show that static forces, as defined by Hooke's law, do not transform in the same way as the usual dynamical forces, thus giving rise to the paradoxes. This inconsistency justifies the present search for alternative theories such as the modern ether theories. Some crucial

Local, macroscopic test of special relativity
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento, 1980Ill two recent papers (~':) the most accurate exper imenta l verif icat ions of special r e l a t iv i ty have been summarized. There are m a n y accurate a tomic (or part icle) experiments but only three macroscopic exper iments . Two of then1 are null exper iments : ~he Miehelson-Morley (2) in terference (which excludes ether drift, effects) and the ...

Tests of special relativity using the Doppler effect
Proceedings of the IEEE, 1976The classical and relativistic Doppler shifts are compared for light incident at any angle upon a perfectly reflecting mirror moving in any arbitrary direction. It is shown that experiments designed to test the theory of special relativity in reflecting systems must be accurate up to third order in v/c.

Special relativity: Understanding experimental tests and formulations
Physical Review A, 1986The two major proposed first-order test theories for special relativity are shown to be equivalent. The results of many experimental tests of special relativity are given in terms of the free parameters of this unified test theory.

Synchronisation conventions in test theories of special relativity
Foundations of Physics Letters, 1991The 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.

Fundamental Tests of Special Relativity and the Isotropy of Space [PDF]
, 1987 When one considers tests of special relativity and the isotropy of space, the experiment of MICHELSON and MORLEY [1] immediately comes to mind. These scientists might not have anticipated that one hundred years after their landmark experiment, there is an ever increasing interest in the subject.
