Meson lifetime dilation as a test for special relativity

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

Predictions from the author's recent alternative explantation of the apparent time dilation evidenced by meson lifetimes suggest that the dilation of life-time observed should be lower than that indicated by special relativity if the tests are made at low eneough energies. Reported experimental data supporting this proposition are discussed.
