A new experimental test of special relativity

Il Nuovo Cimento B Series 10, 1969
Although 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.

Proposed satellite test of special relativity

Physical Review A, 1995
A 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 ...

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.

Improved Test of Time Dilation in Special Relativity

Physical Review Letters, 2003
An 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 ...

Special relativity experiments explained from the perspective of the rotating frame

Modern Physics Letters A, 2019
In this paper, we present an explanation of several fundamental tests of special relativity from the perspective of the frame co-moving with a rotating observer.

Special relativity: Understanding experimental tests and formulations

Physical Review A, 1986
The 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.

Local, macroscopic test of special relativity

Lettere al Nuovo Cimento, 1980
Ill 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 ...

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.

Tests of no-hair theorem with two binary black-hole coalescences

Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics
Test of the no-hair theorem is the primary target with gravitational waves from binary black holes. In this paper, we analyze gravitational-wave data from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detection of binary black-hole mergers using the ΨFD model, which is a non ...

New experimental tests of the special principle of relativity

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1962
In view of the far-reaching consequences of Einstein’s principle of relativity it is quite remarkable how few direct experimental tests of this principle have actually been performed. The classical experiments by Michelson (1881), and by Michelson & Morley (1887), on which the theory of relativity was based, date back to the end of the last century.
