A test theory of special relativity: III. Second-order tests
General Relativity and Gravitation, 1977Various 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: II. First order tests
General Relativity and Gravitation, 1977First-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.

COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF TESTS OF SPECIAL RELATIVITY WITH CAVITIES
The Tenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting, 2006Within a Lorentz invariance violating extension of the Maxwell sector of the Standard Model, modifications of light propagation lead to changes in the resonance frequency of light in electromagnetic cavities. The effect can be tested in Michelson-Morley experiments.

EXPERIMENTAL TESTS OF TIME DILATION IN SPECIAL RELATIVITY
Modern Physics Letters A, 2005A review of experimental tests of time dilation in special relativity is given, with an emphasis on the recent heavy-ion storage-ring work, currently the most sensitive method. The experimental results are evaluated in the context of the kinematic test theories of Robertson and Mansouri and Sexl, which assume the existence of a preferred inertial ...

Improved optical test of special relativity
2003 European Quantum Electronics Conference. EQEC 2003 (IEEE Cat No.03TH8665), 2003A new Michelson-Morley (MM) experiment that is based on a one-year comparison of the frequencies /spl nu//sub x/ and /spl nu//sub y/ of two lasers stabilized to crossed cryogenic optical resonators (CORES) at 1064 nm. The experiment relies on a highly developed laser frequency stabilization scheme: an automatic beam positioning system continuously ...

Proposed satellite test of special relativity
Physical Review A, 1995A test of the second postulate of special relativity, the universality of the speed of light, using the Experiment on Timing Ranging and Atmospheric Sounding payload to be flown on board a terrestrial satellite is proposed. The propagation time of a light signal transmitted from one point to another without reflection would be measured directly by ...

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 ...

Test theories of special relativity
General Relativity and Gravitation, 1995We 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.
