Abstract
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. The theoretical results are applied to the most precise experimental results obtained recently for the isotropy of light propagation and the constancy of the speed of light.Keywords
