A tentative explanation of cosmological red shift
The authors suggest a possible alternative explanation of cosmological red shift. They consider that there exists a background field in the universe, and that light (the photon) has an extremely weak interaction with this background, and as result, experiences an energy loss. By analogy with damped oscillations, the authors introduce a dumping term with the first derivative with respect to time in the wave equation. The solution yields a linearly reduced frequency of the light with travel distance. The purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate how a simple alternative interpretation of the Hubble relation can be generated
Experimental evaluation of atmospheric effects on radiometric measurements using the EREP of Skylab
The author has identified the following significant results. Test sites were located near the Great Salt Lake and the Salton Sea. Calculations were performed for a set of atmospheric models corresponding to the test sites, in addition to standard models for summer and winter midlatitude atmospheres with respective integrated water vapor amount of 2.4 g/sq cm and 0.9 g/sq cm. Each atmosphere was found to contain an average amount of continental aerosol. Computations were valid for high solar elevation angles. Atmospheric attenuation quantities were computed in addition to simulated EREP S192 radiances
Energy Spectra and Energy Correlations in the Decay
It is shown that in the sequential decay , the energy distribution of the final state particles provides
a simple and powerful test of the vertex. For a standard Higgs boson, the
energy spectrum of any final fermion, in the rest frame of , is predicted to
be , with
and . By contrast, the spectrum for a
pseudoscalar Higgs is . There are
characteristic energy correlations between and and between
and . These considerations are applied to the ``gold--plated''
reaction , including possible effects of
CP--violation in the coupling. Our formalism also yields the energy
spectra and correlations of leptons in the decay .Comment: 14 pages + 4 figure
Rank-ordered Multifractal Spectrum for Intermittent Fluctuations
We describe a new method that is both physically explicable and
quantitatively accurate in describing the multifractal characteristics of
intermittent events based on groupings of rank-ordered fluctuations. The
generic nature of such rank-ordered spectrum leads it to a natural connection
with the concept of one-parameter scaling for monofractals. We demonstrate this
technique using results obtained from a 2D MHD simulation. The calculated
spectrum suggests a crossover from the near Gaussian characteristics of small
amplitude fluctuations to the extreme intermittent state of large rare events.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
