Concerning the time dependence of the decay rate of 137Cs.

TL;DR: It is found that the PTB measurements of the decay rate of (137)Cs show no evidence of an annual oscillation, in agreement with the recent report by Bellotti et al., and is consistent with the finding that different nuclides have different sensitivities to whatever external influences are responsible for the observed periodic variations.

Concerning the Time Dependence of the Decay Rate of 137Cs

TL;DR: In this article, the decay rates of 8 nuclides (85Kr, 90Sr, 108Ag, 133Ba, 137Cs, 152Eu, 154Eu and 226Ra) were monitored by the standards group at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Braunschweig, Germany, over the time frame June 1999 to November 2008.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of the thermal casimir force is open to question

TL;DR: In this article, theoretical predictions for the thermal Casimir force were discussed and compared with available experimental data, and the experimental data at separations above 3μm were shown to be in agreement not with the Drude model approach, as is claimed, but with the plasma model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calculation of meson-exchange corrections to triton beta decay using realistic nuclear wave functions

TL;DR: In this paper, the one-pion exchange contribution to the axial-vector matrix element for 3 H → 3 He + e − + g n e is calculated, and trinucleon wave functions are calculated by solving the Faddeev equations for the Reid soft core nucleon-nucleon potential.

The Rise and Fall of the Fifth Force

TL;DR: Fischbach, Aronson and Talmadge as mentioned in this paper proposed a modification of Newton's law of universal gravitation, known as the Fifth Force, which changed the gravitational potential from V = −Gm1m2∕r to V = (−Gm 1m2 ∕r)[1 + αe−r∕λ] where α, the strength of the interaction, was approximately one percent and the range of the force λ was approximately 100 meters.
