Spectrometric method to detect exoplanets as another test to verify the invariance of the velocity of light
Hypothetical influences of variability of light velocity due to the
parameters of the source of radiation, for the results of spectral measurements
of stars to search for exoplanets are considered. Accounting accelerations of
stars relative to the barycenter of the star - a planet (the planets) was
carried out. The dependence of the velocity of light from the barycentric
radial velocity and barycentric radial acceleration component of the star
should lead to a substantial increase (up to degree of magnitude) semi-major
axes of orbits detected candidate to extrasolar planets. Consequently, the
correct comparison of the results of spectral method with results of other
well-known modern methods of detecting extrasolar planets can regard the
results obtained in this paper as a reliable test for testing the invariance of
the velocity of light.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure

Search for fast particles produced at large lab angles at NAL
An experiment is proposed to look for charged particles emitted at large lab angles that are normally forbidden kinematically. These particles if found would correspond to hitherto unobserved events such as the production of particles with imaginary mass values (''tachyons''). Also, they wish to look for fractionally-charged particles produced at these angles. These particles, if found, would correspond to strongly-bound quark-quark states formed in a dissociation of the target nucleon. The detection system will consist of wire-chambers, dE/dx and time-of-flight counters. The basic hardware is under construction and the final system will be ready for test runs at a lower-energy machine in six months. The detection telescope will view interactions of the primary proton beam from backward (in lab) directions and the first choice experimental site is the straight section B with a thin internal target. They would like to use the highest available beam at NAL and since the beam transport and intensity requirements are very minimal, they will be able to run parasitically during the tuning periods of the NAL machine in the next year. The machine time required for this experiment is about three months
