hey all,
i've recently been given an assignment of special relativity, the question is as follows:-
Topic B: SPECIAL RELATIVITY
Write a short report on any experiment, published in the literature (ie journals), which proves or depends on a relativistic effect. Include essential experimental and equipment details, and full citation details.

was just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of any publications of this sort as i don't really know where to look, or let me know of any recent experiments on this topic which are particularly interesting.

thanks.

omg, I HAVE THE SAME ASSIGNMENT!
bahahaha
you can't hide
and it wasnt recent, we were given it at the beginning of the semester, we just have four days to do it now.
Im doing mine on the Hafele-Keating experiment, no stealing.
I googled it, wikipedia's pretty good (to understand stuff), then looked it up on QUT library's database thingo to get journals to make it look like i did good research.
and that's my story
now to write it up...
 
To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
