A Certain Uncertainty: Nature's Random Ways
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of real-life scenarios based on statistical reasoning is presented to teach how to apply powerful statistical, qualitative and probabilistic tools in a technical context.

Evidence for correlations between fluctuations in 54Mn decay rates and solar storms

TL;DR: In this article, a series of signal-detection algorithms determine regions of statistically significant fluctuations in decay behavior from the expected exponential form, and 239 decay flags identified during this interval were compared to daily distributions of multiple solar indices, generated by noaa, which are associated with heightened solar activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variations of decay rate measurement data and their interpretation.
TL;DR: Data measured at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt and published earlier are the subject of a correlation analysis, providing strong arguments that the observed seasonal variations are caused by the measuring chain and, in particular, by the type of measuring electronics used.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors modify and extend Cooper's analysis to obtain constraints on anomalous decays of 238Pu over a wider range of models, but these limits cannot be applied to other nuclei if the anomaly is composition-dependent.

Analysis of Beta-Decay Rates for Ag108, Ba133, Eu152, Eu154, Kr85, Ra226 And Sr90, Measured at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt from 1990 to 1996
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of an analysis of measurements of the beta-decay rates of Ag108, Ba133, Eu152, Eeu154, Kr85, Ra226, and Sr90 acquired at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt from 1990 through 1995 were presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reexamined their previously published data to search for evidence of correlations between the rates for the alpha, beta-minus, beta plus, and electron capture decays of 22Na, 44Ti, 108Agm, 121Snm, 133Ba, and 241Am and the Earth?Sun distance.

Searching for modifications to the exponential radioactive decay law with the Cassini spacecraft
TL;DR: In this paper, the power output of the radioisotope thermoelectric generators aboard the Cassini spacecraft was used to test the conjecture that small deviations observed in terrestrial measurements of the exponential radioactive decay law are correlated with the Earth-Sun distance.

Expected signals in relic neutrino detectors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the magnitude of the signals expected for realistic cosmic neutrino background in detectors attempting to measure the mechanical forces exerted on macroscopic targets by the elastic scattering of relic neutrinos.

The effective half-life of a broad beam 238Pu/Be total body neutron irradiator
TL;DR: In this paper, a broad-beam 238Pu/Be neutron irradiator has been previously developed for exclusive use in in vivo neutron activation analysis in humans and the initial calibrations of the facility provided only a fixed value for the thermal neutron flux.
