Diffuse Ionization in the Milky Way and Sterile Neutrinos
R. N. Mohapatra, D. W. Sciama
We propose the radiative decay of sterile neutrinos which fill a fraction of the halo dark matter with a mass of 27.4 eV and lifetime of sec. as a way to explain the…
Are Neutrino Oscillations Compatible with the Decaying Neutrino Theory for the Ionisation of Hydrogen in the Interstellar Medium?
D. W. Sciama
Recent Super-Kamiokande data have greatly strengthened the hypothesis that the atmospheric neutrino anomaly is mainly due to nearly maximal oscillations between and either $ν…
Optical Emission Lines from Warm Interstellar Clouds - a Decisive Test of the Decaying Neutrino Theory
D. W. Sciama
Recently developed instruments such as the Taurus Tunable Filter and WHAM should be able to detect some or all of the optical emission lines H, [OI] 6300, [SII] 6717, [NI]…
Sonoluminescence as a QED vacuum effect: Probing Schwinger's proposal
S. Liberati, F. Belgiorno, Matt Visser +1
Several years ago Schwinger proposed a physical mechanism for sonoluminescence in terms of photon production due to changes in the properties of the quantum-electrodynamic (QED) va…
Sonoluminescence: Bogolubov coefficients for the QED vacuum of a time-dependent dielectric bubble
Matt Visser, S. Liberati, F. Belgiorno +1
We extend Schwinger's ideas regarding sonoluminescence by explicitly calculating the Bogolubov coefficients relating the QED vacuum states associated with changes in a dielectric b…
