The physicist himself

Step-by-step explanation:

Replication in an experiment means to repeat an experiment as many times as possible using the same conditions. This is done to minimize error and ascertain the reliability of the experimental outcome.

An experimenter is responsible for repeating his/her experiments. According to this question, a physicist performs an experiment. The physicist himself should replicate his experiment.
