Beside the rise of total cross sections or interaction radii of colliding high energetic particles and the shrinkage of mean-free-paths of ultra relativistic particles (nucleii) in material media (anomalons), which have been shown to be of special relativistic origin [1], still other phenomena in high energy physics may arise from relativistic kinematics. In particular this seems to be the case with the EMC-effect and the so called atmosperic neutrino anomaly.
