Resource Note on Photofission of Nuclei
Michael Martin Nieto
Open-source data exists, in widely scattered places, on photofission of the important nuclear isotopes ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu. This data is useful for studies aimed at detecting thes…
Detection of Antineutrinos for Non-Proliferation
Michael Martin Nieto, A. C. Hayes, Corinne M. Teeter +2
We discuss the feasibility of using the detection of electron antineutrinos produced in fission to monitor the time dependence of the plutonium content of nuclear power reactors. I…
Finding the Origin of the Pioneer Anomaly
Michael Martin Nieto, Slava G. Turyshev
Analysis of radio-metric tracking data from the Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft at distances between 20 - 70 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun has consistently indicated the presence o…
Measuring the Interplanetary Medium with a Solar Sail
Michael Martin Nieto, Slava G. Turyshev
NASA has been considering a solar sail that would accelerate a craft to a high velocity (~ 14 AU/yr) by the time it reached 5 AU. Then the sail would be dropped and the craft would…
Problems of the rotating-torsion-balance limit on the photon mass
Alfred Scharff Goldhaber, Michael Martin Nieto
We discuss the problems (and the promise) of the ingenious method introduced by Lakes, and recently improved on by Luo, to detect a possible small photon mass by measuring the…
