Reply to comment on: Lorentz violation in high-energy ions

Abstract

This response clari es that, without accounting for the transverse Doppler e ect [1], the experimental analysis cannot rule-out (and develop bounds on) the Lorentz violation, especially since the energy of the transition being excited (in the moving high-energy ion, under the experimental conditions) is not measured directly. Therefore, the transverse Doppler e ect, in the emissions, should be accounted for when analyzing the results of saturation spectroscopy experiments referred to in the Comment [2].
