Concerning the Phase of the Time-Variation in the Cl-36 Decay Rate

Abstract

We show that apparently conflicting results on the time-variation of the measured Cl-36 decay rates can be readily understood as arising from solar variability beyond the simple Earth-Sun distance model, and hence are not an indication of instrumental effects.
