The peculiarities of cross-correlation between two secondary precursors - radon and magnetic field variations, induced by stress transfer changes

A model of precursor manifestation mechanisms, stimulated by tectonic activity and some peculiarities of observer strategy, whose main task is the effective measurement of precursors in the spatial area of their occurrence on the Earth's daylight, are considered. In particular, the applicability of Dobrovolsky's approximation is analyzed, when an unperturbed medium (characterized by the simple shear state) and the area of tectonic activity (local inhomogeneity caused by the change only of shear modulus) are linearly elastic, and perturbation, in particular, surface displacement is calculated as a difference of the solutions of two independent static problems of the theory of elasticity with the same boundary condition on the surface. Within the framework of this approximation a formula for the spatial distribution (of first component) of magnetic field variations caused by piezomagnetic effect in the case of perturbed regular medium, which is in simple shear state is derived. Cogent arguments in favor of linear dependence between the radon spatial distribution and conditional deformation are obtained. Changes in magnetic field strength and radon concentrations were measured along a tectonomagnetic profile of the total length of 11 km in the surroundings of the "Academician Vernadsky" Station on the Antarctic Peninsula (W 64{\deg}16', S 65{\deg}15'). Results showed a positive correlation between the annual surface radon concentration and annual changes of magnetic field relative to a base point, and also the good coincidence with theoretical calculation.Comment: 27 pages, 11 figures, 3 tables (a substantially revised and extended edition; v3 -- some analysis of recent publications added

On the spectrum of moderated neutrons emitted by the isotropic source in the gas fuel

Analytical formula for the equation of the neutron scattering for isotropic neutron source, which includes the temperature of the moderating medium as the parameter, was first obtained in the given work in the framework of gas model of the medium. The obtained equation of the scattering is based on the solution of the kinematic problem of elastic scattering of neutron at the nucleus in “L”-system in general case, when before the scattering not only neutron but the nucleus also have the arbitrary velocity vector in “L”-system of coordinates. The neutron flux and moderating spectra depending on the media temperature were found for this new equation of the scattering. Obtained expression for the moderating neutron spectra allows the new interpretation of the processes, which determine neutron spectra in the thermal area
