Abstract	Our proposed experiment aimed to test the validity of the Lorentz factor with two methods: The time of flight (TOF) of various particles at different momenta and the decay rate of pions at different momenta. Due to the high sensitivity required for the second method the results were inconclusive, therefore we report only on the results of the first method.
