The fine structure of histograms of measurements of 239 Pu alpha-activity varies periodically, and the period of these variations is equal to sidereal day (1436 minutes). The periodicity is not observed in the experiments with collimator that restricts the alpha particles flow to be oriented to the Polar Star. Based on this study and other independent data, such as measurements conducted by the Arctic expedition, and similarity of the histograms in processes observed at different locations at…

Regular Changes in the Fine Structure of Histograms Revealed in the Experiments with Collimators which Isolate Beams of Alpha-Particles Flying at Certain Directions
As was shown in the works of 1951–1983, the fine structure of distributions of the results of measurements of processes of diverse nature is not casual. The changes in the shape of histograms…

As shown in our previous experiments fine structure of histograms of α-activity measurements serve as a sensitive tool for investigation of cosmophysical influences. Particularly, the histograms…
"The Arrow of Time" in the Experiments in which Alpha-Activity was Measured Using Collimators Directed at East and West
In our previous paper (Shnoll and Rubinstein, Progress in Physics, 2009, v. 2, 83–95), we briefly reported about a phenomenon, which can be called the “arrow of time”: when we compared histograms…
