TL;DR
This paper clarifies a previous experimental analysis, arguing that the results align with Special Relativity and correcting a misinterpretation that suggested Lorentz violation.
Contribution
The authors provide a detailed critique of Devasia's interpretation, reaffirming that their Doppler shift experiments support Lorentz invariance and are consistent with established physics.
Findings
Experimental results agree with Special Relativity
Misinterpretation led to false indication of Lorentz violation
Clarification resolves previous misunderstandings
Abstract
In an article "Missing Transverse-Doppler Effect in Time-Dilation Experiments with High-Speed Ions" by S. Devasia [arXiv:1003.2970v1], our recent Doppler shift experiments on fast ion beams are reanalyzed. Contrary to our analysis, Devasia concludes that our results provide an "indication of Lorentz violation". We argue that this conclusion is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of our experimental scheme and reiterate that our results are in excellent agreement with Special Relativity.
