Evidence Against Correlations Between Nuclear Decay Rates and Earth-Sun Distance

Journal Article · · Astroparticle Physics, vol. 31, no. 2, February 1, 2009, pp. 135-137
OSTI ID:947764
We have reexamined our previously published data to search for evidence of correlations between the rates for the alpha, beta-minus, beta-plus, and electron-capture decays of {sup 22}Na, {sup 44}Ti, {sup 108}Ag{sup m}, {sup 121}Sn{sup m}, {sup 133}Ba, and {sup 241}Am and the Earth-Sun distance. We find no evidence for such correlations and set limits on the possible amplitudes of such correlations substantially smaller than those observed in previous experiments.
