Physics DENY the fact that are dealing with CHARGED PARTICLES, and that
the energy transfer between accelerators and particles could be limited
JUST by the speed at which the EM electric fields can accelerate
particles. It's highly possible that such action IS NOT RELATED TO SR,
but to limits at which accelerating energy can be transferred to
particles, in a way that formulae ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE FROM SR.

Relativistic formulas have been validated for several classes of
uncharged particles including neutrons, neutrinos, and neutral mesons.
Achieved levels of accuracy do not match those achieved with charged
particles like protons, electrons and muons, but the achieved levels
of accuracy have nevertheless reached parts-per-ten-thousand.
For example, fast neutron time-of-flight measurements show that the
kinetic energy of neutrons is VERY significantly different from what
is predicted by the non-relativistic formula when the neutrons in
question are above 10 MeV. The measured energies match the
relativistic prediction to better than 0.1%
The highest precision measurements have come from neutron diffraction
measurements. You get the de Broglie wavelength from Bragg's law, and
the momentum from λ = h/p. The p = λmv relationship has been validated
to the 0.01% level.
Try looking up the 1975 experiment by Colella, Overhauser and Werner
and follow-up experiments by them and others. The aim of the original
"COW" experiment was to test the weak equivalence principle, but the
validity of the SR relationships was central to their analysis, which
otherwise would not have made any sense.
Your arguments about the the speed at which the EM electric fields
can accelerate particles are pretty old and EXTREMELY stale. I
remember arguing with "Henry Wilson" on this very point. Essentially,
your arguments rely on Maxwell's equations being false. Good luck
with that.
