The Long Version of the Relativity-Gyro Paper

The detailed version of the 1995 PRL paper was published in Physical Review D in 1999: Benjamin Lange, Design and Analysis of a High-Accuracy Version of the Relativity-Gyroscope Experiment, Physical Review D, Vol. 59, 102004, May 15, 1999.

At the time of publication, it was decided to break the article into two parts, the Main Text and the Appendices. The published version contains only the main text, but the Appendices are available from the American Physical Society's E-PAPS website (see below).

The Prepublished Version (Main Text and Appendices Together)

A prepublication version of the paper is available from this website: The Relativity Gyro: Prepublication Version (PDF).

The main difference between the prepublished and published versions involves the section "Resolving the Discrepancy with GP-B". In the prepublished version, this is in Appendix I. For the published version, however, the reviewer requested that this section be made a part of the main paper. See Section VIII, page 12.
