Simple first-order test of special relativity

American Journal of Physics, 1985
This paper reports on a simple experiment for testing the isotropy of the speed of light. It is based on a method which yields a first-order sensitivity in (v/c).

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.

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 ...

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.

Experimental test of special relativity by laser spectroscopy

Hyperfine Interactions, 2006
The Doppler-free laser-spectroscopic frequency measurement of Doppler-shifted optical lines in forward and backward direction of a fast ion beam permits a sensitive test of the relativistic Doppler-formula and, hence, the relativistic time dilation factor γ SR=(1−ν 2/c 2)−1/2.

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.

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 ...

Testing of the line element of special relativity with rotating systems

Physical Review A, 1989
Experiments with rotating systems are examined from the point of view of a test theory of the Lorentz transformations (LTs), permitting, in principle, the verification of the simultaneity relation. The significance of the experiments involved in the testing of the LTs can be determined using Robertson's test theory (RTT).
