Experimental investigation of spinning massive body influence on fine structure of distribution functions of alpha-decay rate fluctuations

TL;DR

This paper experimentally explores how a rapidly spinning massive body might influence the distribution of alpha-decay rate fluctuations, examining anisotropy and underlying macroscopic fluctuation phenomena.

Contribution

It provides the first experimental investigation into the influence of spinning massive bodies on alpha-decay fluctuations and discusses the macroscopic fluctuation effect's fundamentals.

No significant anisotropic influence detected

Methodology for analyzing decay rate fluctuations established

Review of 50 years of macroscopic fluctuation research included

Abstract

The present investigation is dedicated to study of physical basis of macroscopic fluctuations effect. In particular experimental investigation of possible influence of rapidly spinning massive body on distribution function of the alpha-decay rate fluctuations was carried out. Possible anisotropy of such influence was tested. The paper also contains fundamentals of the macroscopic fluctuations effect, method of experimental data processing and short review of phenomenology collected during more than fifty-years history of the macroscopic fluctuation effect investigations.
