Phenomenology of Rate-Related Nonlinear Effects in Nuclear Spectroscopy
J. M. Nistor, J. M. Heim, E. Fischbach +2
A series of recent reports suggest that the decay rates of several isotopes may have been influenced by solar activity (perhaps by solar neutrinos). A mechanism in which neutrinos…
Concerning the Time Dependence of the Decay Rate of 137Cs
Jere H. Jenkins, Ephraim Fischbach, Daniel Javorsek +2
The decay rates of 8 nuclides (85Kr, 90Sr, 108Ag, 133Ba, 137Cs, 152Eu, 154Eu, and 226Ra) were monitored by the standards group at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), B…
Concerning the Phase of the Time-Variation in the Cl-36 Decay Rate
Ephraim Fischbach, J. Thomas Gruenwald, Daniel Javorsek +4
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 Ea…
Additional experimental evidence for a solar influence on nuclear decay rates
Jere H. Jenkins, Kevin R. Herminghuysen, Thomas E. Blue +6
Additional experimental evidence is presented in support of the recent hypothesis that a possible solar influence could explain fluctuations observed in the measured decay rates of…
Absence of a self-induced decay effect in 198Au
Richard M. Lindstrom, Ephraim Fischbach, John B. Buncher +2
We report the results of an improved experiment aimed at determining whether the half-life () of Au depends on the shape of the source. In this experiment, the hal…
Analysis of Experiments Exhibiting Time-Varying Nuclear Decay Rates: Systematic Effects or New Physics?
Jere H. Jenkins, Ephraim Fischbach, Peter A. Sturrock +1
Since the 1930s, and with very few exceptions, it has been assumed that the process of radioactive decay is a random process, unaffected by the environment in which the decaying nu…
