Additional experimental evidence against a solar influence on nuclear decay rates

TL;DR

This paper presents experimental evidence suggesting that observed variations in nuclear decay rates are due to instrumental artifacts, not solar influences, based on conflicting results from two experiments on Cl-36 decay.

Contribution

It provides additional experimental evidence that challenges the hypothesis of solar influence on nuclear decay rates, emphasizing the role of instrumental artifacts.

Findings

Conflicting experimental results on Cl-36 decay.

Instrumental artifacts likely cause observed variations.

No conclusive evidence of solar influence found.

Abstract

Conflicting results from two experiments studying the decay of Cl-36 point to instrumental artifacts rather than a solar influence being responsible for variations in measured counting rates.
