Mossbauer experiments in a rotating system: The so-called "synchronization effect" to explain the extra energy shift between emitted and absorbed radiation constitutes a complete failure

TL;DR

This paper critically evaluates C. Corda's proposed 'synchronization effect' in Mossbauer rotor experiments, demonstrating that his explanation for the energy shift is incorrect and that no such effect exists.

Contribution

The paper refutes C. Corda's synchronization effect explanation, providing a correct approach that shows no such effect accounts for the energy shift in rotating systems.

Findings

Corda's synchronization effect is erroneous

The correct calculation shows no synchronization effect

Energy shift explained without additional effects

Abstract

We show that a new attempt by C. Corda to once more rehash his so-called "synchronization effect" in order to account for the origin of the extra energy shift between emitted and absorbed radiation in Mossbauer rotor experiments (C. Corda, Int. J. Mod. Phys. D, doi: 10.1142/S0218271819501311) is yet again erroneous, just as were his previous attempts (Ann. Phys. 355, 360 (2015); Ann. Phys. 368, 258 (2016); Int. J. Mod. Phys. D 27, 1847016 (2018)). The correct approach presented herein with regards to the calculation of the energy shift between emitted and absorbed radiation in a rotating system leads to, as a matter of fact, no specific "synchronization effect".
