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 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.

COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF TESTS OF SPECIAL RELATIVITY WITH CAVITIES

, 2006
Within 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.

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 ...

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 ...
