Trap Activation Energy and Transport Parameters of HgI$_2$ Crystals for Bubble-Plasma Diagnostics

In recent data on neutron induced acoustic cavitation in deuterium--containing liquids obtained by neutron measurements it was shown that very high temperatures could arise in some special cases. To study temperature of so--called bubble plasma it is desirable to have micro--detectors of X-rays, which can be prepared on the basis of room--temperature semiconductor detectors, in particular on mercuric iodide ($α$--HgI$_2$) crystals. Having in view this aim, the properties of gel--grown ($α$--HgI$_2$) crystals was studied by means of isothermal currents, and trap parameters was estimated. Results are promising for special aim of preparing X-ray detectors with moderate energy resolution needed in bubble--plasma diagnostic, though improving of crystal growing technology is necessary. {\it PACS:} 29.40.Wk; 52.70.La {\it Keywords:} X-ray and gamma--ray measurements; semiconductor detectors; mercuric iodide; plasma diagnostics; cavitation

Experimental Investigations of Changes in beta-decay rate of Co-60 and Cs-137

Results of simultaneous measurements of beta-decay rate with the aid of Ge(Li)-detectors performed at two laboratories 140km apart (INR RAS, Troitsk, Co-60, and JINR, Dubna, Cs-137) during a period from 15.03.2000 till 10.04.2000, are presented. Regular deviations of the count rate of gamma-quanta following the beta-decay of $\sim$ 0.7% (INR RAS, Co-60) and $\sim$ 0.2% (JINR, Cs-137) from the statistical average, are observed. The analysis of extremum deviations of gamma-quanta count rate shows that the set of directions of tangents to the Earth's parallels of latitude at the extremum points of trajectories of motion in the space of each laboratory clearly forms three separate compact subsets of directions which agree, for two laboratories, to an accuracy of $\pm10^\circ$. This phenomenon is shown not to be explained on the basis of traditional notion. A possible explanation is suggested basing on the hypothesis that there exists a new anisotropic interaction caused by the cosmological vectorial potential \textbf{A}$_{\rm g}$, a new fundamental constant having, according to the experiments carried out, the coordinate of right ascension $α\approx 285^\circ$ in the second equatorial system. This is in agreement with earlier experiments.

Global Anisotropy of Space and experimental investigation of changes in beta-decay count rate of radioactive elements

The results of experimental investigations of changes in beta-decay count rate of radioactive elements, are presented, and an explanation of those on the base of a new physical conception of forming the observed three-dimensional space from a finite set of one-dimensional discrete vectorial objects (byuons), containing the cosmological vectorial potential, a new fundamental vectorial constant, is given. In the theory, the vector direction corresponds with that of the axis of Universe rotation being discussed in literature.
