# Nuclear decay parameter oscillations as possible signal of quantum-mechanical nonlinearity and emergent gravity

## TL;DR

This paper proposes that observed periodic variations in nuclear decay rates can be explained by nonlinear quantum mechanics and emergent gravity models, aligning theoretical predictions with experimental data.

## Contribution

It introduces a nonlinear quantum mechanics framework with Doebner-Goldin terms to explain decay oscillations as effects of emergent gravity.

## Key findings

- Decay rate oscillations match predictions from nonlinear quantum mechanics.
- Model links decay variations to Sun gravity influence.
- Results support emergent gravity as a factor in nuclear decay behavior.

## Abstract

Several experimental groups reported the evidence of multiple periodic modulations of nuclear decay constants which amplitudes are of the order .1% and periods of one year, 24 hours or about one month. We argue that such deviations from radioactive decay law can be described in nonlinear quantum mechanics framework, in which decay process obeys to nonlinear Shroedinger equation with Doebner-Goldin terms. Proposed corrections to Hamiltonian of quantum system interaction with gravitation field correspond to some emergent gravity theories, in particular, bilocal gravity model. Decay parameter variations under influence of Sun gravity, calculated in our model, agree well with experimental results for alpha-decay life-time oscillations of Polonium isotopes
