The GSI anomaly

The GSI Time Anomaly: Facts and Fiction

The claims that the GSI time anomaly is due to the mixing of neutrinos in the final state of the observed electron-capture processes are refuted. With the help of an analogy with a double-slit experiment, it is shown that the standard method of calculation of the rate of an interaction process by adding the rates of production of all the allowed final states, regardless of a possible coherence ...

Comment on the Neutrino-Mixing Interpretation of the GSI Time Anomaly

It is shown that neutrino mixing cannot explain the GSI time anomaly, refuting recent claims in this direction. Addendum 1: Remarks on arXiv:0801.1465. Addendum 2: Quantum effects in GSI nuclear decay are verboten. A GSI experiment observed an oscillatory time modulation of the electron-capture decay of Pr and Pm ions, Pr → Ce + νe , Pm → Nd + νe , (1) with periods T (Pr) = 7.06(8) s and T (Pm)...

Rates of Processes with Coherent Production of Different Particles and the GSI Time Anomaly

With the help of an analogy with a double-slit experiment, it is shown that the standard method of calculation of the rate of an interaction process by adding the rates of production of all the allowed final states, regardless of a possible coherence among them, is correct. It is a consequence of causality. The claims that the GSI time anomaly is due to the mixing of neutrinos in the final stat...

The Diamond Project at Gsi - Perspectives

Heavy-ion experiments at GSI cover nuclear and atomic physics, related basic and applied research in plasma physics and material science as well as biophysics including tumor therapy with carbon ions. After low-energy sections, the heavy-ion synchrotron (SIS) provides pulsed, cooled ion beams up to 2 GeV/amu of beam intensities up to 10 ions/spill. All kind of ions from protons with Z=1 to U io...
