3. Reply to “Comment on "Testing Three-body Quantum Electrodynamics with Trapped Ti20+ Ions: Evidence for a Z-Dependent Divergence between Experiment and Calculation"
Topic: Radiation Physics
Published: 4/12/2013
Authors: Lawrence T Hudson, C T Chantler, M N Kinnane, John D Gillaspy, A.T. Payne, L F Smale, Albert Henins, Joshua M Pomeroy, J A Kimpton, E Takacs, K Makonyi
Abstract: We find that Epp’s [1] hypothesis - namely that the current experimental data set is well represented by a small constant or zero offset from the predictions of Artemyev et al. [2] - is not supported by standard statistical analysis. We find that add ...
