Measurement of Time Dilation by Laser Spectroscopy on Fast Stored Lithium Ions
In this work frequency measurements on fast lithium ions as a test of time dilation are presented. The measurements are carried out at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg using the storage ring TSR. The transition frequency of a two-level system in the lithium ion is measured using a Doppler-free fluorescence saturation spectroscopy. The spectroscopy is realized by two co...
متن کاملTest of relativistic time dilation with fast optical atomic clocks at different velocities
Time dilation is one of themost fascinating aspects of special relativity as it abolishes the notion of absolute time. It was first observed experimentally by Ives and Stilwell in 1938 using the Doppler effect. Here we report on a method, based on fast optical atomic clocks with large, but different Lorentz boosts, that tests relativistic time dilation with unprecedented precision. The approach...
متن کاملExperimental test of special relativity by laser spectroscopy
The Doppler-free laser-spectroscopic frequency measurement of Doppler-shifted optical lines in forward and backward direction of a fast ion beam permits a sensitive test of the relativistic Doppler-formula and, hence, the relativistic time dilation factor γSR 1⁄4 ð1 ν2 c2 1=2. An experiment on metastable Li, stored at a velocity of v= 0.064c in the Heidelberg heavy-ion storage ring TSR, has con...
متن کاملTest of time dilation using stored Li+ ions as clocks at relativistic speed.
We present the concluding result from an Ives-Stilwell-type time dilation experiment using 7Li+ ions confined at a velocity of β=v/c=0.338 in the storage ring ESR at Darmstadt. A Λ-type three-level system within the hyperfine structure of the 7Li+3S1 →3P2 line is driven by two laser beams aligned parallel and antiparallel relative to the ion beam. The lasers' Doppler shifted frequencies require...
متن کاملLithium Disilicate (Li2Si2O5): Mild Condition Hydrothermal Synthesis, Characterization and Optical Properties
Lithium disilicate nano-powders were synthesized via a mild condition hydrothermal reaction at 180 ºC for 48 and 72 h with a non stoichiometric1:2 Li:Si molar ratio in NaOH aqueous solution using Li2CO3 and SiO2.H2O as raw materials. The synthesized materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The XRD data showed t...
