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.

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...
 
Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
