Abstract: (arXiv)
Two theories of special relativity with an additional invariant scale, doubly special relativity (DSR), are tested with calculations of particle process kinematics. Using the Judes-Visser modified conservation laws, thresholds are studied in both theories. In contrast to some linear approximations, which allow for particle processes forbidden in special relativity, both the Amelino-Camelia and Maguejo-Smolin frameworks allow no additional processes. To first order, the Amelino-Camelia framework thresholds are lowered and the Maguejo-Smolin framework thresholds may be raised or lowered.
