Mark-- Are you the Mark, Fischbach addresses several times in his presentation?

Many of the slides for the presentation can be found here: http://moriond.in2p3.fr/J11/transparents/fischbach.pdf This is rather old stuff, actually. If you head to arXiv and fish out the latest papers authored by Fischbach, you can catch up on latest in the nuclear decay rate situation. I’m not aware of any further suggestions made by this collaboration of researchers. Some further info on possible refutations are touched upon, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N76lx-4fN-g Since this effect has apparently also been seen with Alpha Decay, it has raised more questions concerning suggestions such as Fischbach, et al.’s, above... ... The suggestion of a direct or catalytic effect had been made by Falkenberg back in 2001 (don’t think he’s the first to suggest this): http://redshift.vif.com/JournalFiles/V08NO2PDF/V08N2FAL.pdf The aphelion/perihelion solar neutrino flux variation is about +/- 3.2 or 3.3% and the effect he saw with tritium was +/- 0.37% or about 1/9th the variation. That data was taken in the 1981 timeframe. - Mark Jurich
