Biological Nuclear Transmutations as a Source of Biophotons

TL;DR

This paper proposes that nuclear transmutation reactions produce soft multi-photon radiation, explaining key properties of biophoton emissions such as intensity, coherence, and delayed luminescence.

Contribution

It introduces a novel nuclear transmutation-based model to explain biophoton properties, linking nuclear reactions to biophoton phenomena.

Findings

Soft photon radiation explains biophoton intensity decrease with frequency

Coherent state Poisson statistics match observed biophoton emission

Hyperbolic time tail accounts for delayed luminescence

Abstract

Soft multi-photon radiation from hard higher energy reaction sources can be employed to describe three major well established properties of biophoton radiation; Namely, (i) the mild radiation intensity decreases for higher frequencies, (ii) the coherent state Poisson counting statistics, and (iii) the time delayed luminescence with a hyperbolic time tail. Since the soft photon frequencies span the visible to the ultraviolet frequency range, the hard reaction sources have energies extending into the nuclear transmutation regime.
