Missing Transverse-Doppler Effect in Time-Dilation Experiments with High-Speed Ions

Abstract

Recent experiments with high-speed ions have investigated potential deviations from the time-dilation predicted by special relativity (SR). The main contribution of this article is to show that the SR predictions are matched by the experimental results only when the transverse Doppler effect in the observed emissions from the ions are neglected in the analysis. However, the Doppler effect in the emission cannot be neglected because it is similar to the time dilation effect. Thus, the article highlights the need to consider Doppler emission effects when validating SR time dilation using high-speed ion experiments.
