摘要：

We describe a method by which existing precision measurements may be used to provide a new laboratory test of the special theory of relativity. In this test the speed of light c(em) is compared to the limiting velocity of massive particles, c(m). Although it is conventionally assumed that c(em) = c(m) = c, this need not be the case in phenomenological alternatives to special relativity. Our results impose limits on the quantity (1 - c(m)/c(em)). Unlike null tests of special relativity, this limit does not depend on assumptions concerning the motion of the laboratory with respect to a preferred frame.
