X Abstract

An improved test of time dilation in special relativity has been performed using laser spectroscopy on fast ions at the heavy-ion storage-ring TSR in Heidelberg. The Doppler-shifted frequencies of a two-level transition in 7Li+ ions at v = 0.064c have been measured in the forward and backward direction to an accuracy of /= 1x10--9 using collinear saturation spectroscopy. The result confirms the relativistic Doppler formula and sets a new limit of 2.2x10--7 for deviations from the time dilation factor SR = (1--v2/c2)--1/2.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
