Abstract
The author shows in this article that a coherent description of the Sagnac effect for massive particles, which takes account of length contraction and time dilation can only be obtained with a so called ?absolute? clock synchronization parameter. Any other synchronization leads to an incoherent description between the point of view of an observer on the rotating platform and a non-rotating observer. This demonstration generalises the one made by Selleri and the author for the Sagnac effect with electromagnetic waves.
