Special Relativity Test
• The most precise direct test of E = mc2
• This result is 55 times more accurate than the previous best direct test performed by comparing the electron and positron masses to the energy released in their annihilation
• Doesn't require the assumption of the existence of a preferred frame of reference in order to place constraints on proposed Lorentz-violating parameters

Towards 10-8 precision• Statistics: longer measuring times, greater source
density, reduce spectrometer drift, concentrate on sulfur and chlorine and radioactive isotopes
• Calibration: redesign interferometer, remove non- linearities, reduce sensitivity to environment
• Crystal temperature: more sensors on crystal, 3-4 mK absolute accuracy required
• Vertical divergence: need to rethink the way the beam and spectrometer are aligned with respect to each other
• Crystal lattice spacing: 10-8 precision possible

Historical Highlights• 1969 the first combined x-ray and optical
interferometer (XROI) is realized at the NBS by Deslattes and collaborators
• 1973 “X-Ray to Visible Wavelength Ratios” links the optical “standard” to x-ray transition wavelengths for the first time
• 1978 a double crystal spectrometer is used at NBS to measure reactor-produced, non-prompt Au and Ir gamma-ray reference lines (675 keV maximum energy)

38
Historical Highlights• 1982 spectrometer moves to ILL in search of prompt
lines having higher energies• 1984 instrument “aiming” difficulties lead to a major
upgrade that includes a new platform, position and vibration stabilization, and new collimators
• 1986-present GAMS4 becomes a scheduled ILL instrument used to measure binding energies, reference lines, lifetimes of nuclear excited states in the sub- picosecond range, and interatomic potentials in the 10 eV to 100 eV range
• 1998 GAMS5 becomes operational
