Proposal for a test of an unusual relativistic effect

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

In a previous paper it has been shown that a static electric field can produce a torque on a uniformly moving neutral-current loop. Analogously, the same field will produce Zeeman splitting of energy levels on moving atoms. This effect can be tested by means of atomic-beam magnetic-resonance techniques.
