We have found evidence for fluxes of energetic electrons in interplanetary space on board the ISEE-3 spacecraft which we interpret as the decay products of neutrons generated in a solar flare on 1980 June 21. The decay electrons arrived at the s/c shortly before the electrons from the flare and can be distinguished from the latter by their distinctive energy spectrum. The time profile of the de...

A recent re-determination of the non-thermal component of the hard X-ray to soft γ-ray emission from the Galactic ridge, using the SPI instrument on the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) Observatory, is shown to be well reproduced as inverse-Compton emission from the interstellar medium. Both cosmic-ray primary electrons and secondary electrons and positrons contribute ...

The QCD sector of the system SANC is presented. QCD theoretical predictions for several processes of high energy interactions of fundamental particles at the one-loop precision level for up to some 3and 4-particle processes are implemented.

We discuss the physical nature of elementary singularities arising in the complexified Maxwell field extended into complex spacetime, i.e., in Lanczos-Newman electrodynamics. We show that the translation of the world-line of a bare electric-monopole singularity into imaginary space is adding a magnetic-dimonopole component to it, so that it may be interpreted as a pseudo-scalar pion-proton inte...

The most fundamental to the elementary particles is the mass they posses and it would be of importance to explore a possible relationship amongst their masses. Here, an attempt is made to investigate this important aspect irrespective of their nature or scheme of classification. We show that there exists a striking tendency for successive mass differences between elementary particles to be clos...

Of course, we don't mean to say that focusing on CF/LENR is because we're inclined to this kind of fusion, but because of our conviction to the idea that deep inside the nuclei, the structure resembles condensed matter physics (or superconductor), either using Ervin Goldfain's CGLE model, 'compressed hydrogen' (Rutherford), or Wilczek's theory [6]. Furthermore, one can find another hint by stud...

We state several ideas based on the view-point of particle behaviour of matter to explain wave character of photon and elementary particles. By using Newton’s suggestion of light ray, we clarify integrally the behaviour of light “wave”. And “wave” character of particles is also explained by the view-point of particle.

We report on spectral observations of the night sky in the band around 900 Å where the emission line in the Sciama model of radiatively decaying massive neutrinos would be present. The data were obtained with a high resolution, high sensitivity spectrometer flown on the Spanish MINISAT satellite. The observed emission is far less intense than that expected in the Sciama model. Subject headings:...

The detection of low energy neutrinos in a large scintillation detector may provide further important information on astrophysical processes as supernova physics, solar physics and elementary particle physics as well as geophysics. In this contribution, a new project for Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy (LENA) consisting of a 50 kt scintillation detector is presented. ∗Corresponding authors. Fax: ...
