Ives-Stilwell Time Dilation Li ESR Darmstadt Experiment and Neo-Lorentz Relativity

Botermann et al in Test of Time Dilation Using Stored Li Ions as Clocks at Relativistic Speed, Physical Review Letters, 2014, 113, 120405, reported results from an IvesStilwell-type time dilation experiment using Li ions at speed 0.338c in the ESR storage ring at Darmstadt, and concluded that the data verifies the Special Relativity time dilation effect. However numerous other experiments have shown that it is only neo-Lorentz Relativity that accounts for all data, and all detect a 3-space speed V ≈ 470 km/s essentially from the south. Here we show that the ESR data confirms both Special Relativity and neo-Lorentz Relativity, but that a proposed different re-analysis of the ESR data should enable a test that could distinguish between these two theories.
