Overlooked local interactions in the EPR Paradox

Five objections to the conventional arguments underlying the EPR \enquote{paradox} are presented. It is shown that for entangled subsystems the formation of the post-measurement state necessarily involves local interactions affecting both subsystems, contradicting standard EPR assumptions. Correlations between measurements by remote apparatuses are shown to be consistent with relativistic principles. For entangled eigenstates of total momentum or total spin, eliminating redundant degrees of freedom in analogy with generalized Hamiltonian dynamics prevents the emergence of the EPR \enquote{paradox}. A different paradox is identified for a quantum charged particle, whose electric field is shown to be determined by potential configurations encoded in the quantum state rather than by actual measurement events.

Geant4 simulation of the moderating neutrons spectrum

In this paper we deal with the problem of predicting a steady-state neutron spectrum in media of arbitrary composition and geometry. The analytical calculations of such spectrum are often too complex, if at all possible. We describe a method of Geant4-based Monte Carlo calculation of the steady-state neutron spectrum in a medium containing a fixed neutron source. In addition to the steady-state spectrum, we obtain the snapshots of the neutron spectrum evolution in time, which may be thought of as the non-equilibrium neutron spectra, and their form is of considerable interest for further studies.

Coronal heating problem solution by means of axion origin photons

In this paper we advocate for the idea that two seemingly unrelated mysteries with almost 90 year history -- the nature of dark matter and the million-degree solar corona -- may be but two sides of the same coin -- the axions of dark matter born in the core of the Sun and photons of axion origin in the million-degree solar corona, whose modulations are controlled by the anticorrelated modulation of the asymmetric dark matter (ADM) density in the solar interior.

Simulation of the traveling wave burning on epithermal neutrons on the year time scale

We present the newly obtained results of two computer simulations of the epithermal neutron-nuclear burning in natural uranium. Each of them modeled the period of six months of the traveling wave reactor (TWR) operation -- for two different flux densities of an external neutron source. The simulation results confirm the existence of a nuclear burning wave at longer time scales, and reveal the dependence of the wave burning modes on the parameters of an external neutron source.

Thermomagnetic Ettingshausen-Nernst effect in tachocline, magnetic reconnection phenomenon in lower layers, axion mechanism of solar luminosity variations, coronal heating problem solution and mechanism of ADM variations around BH

It is shown that the holographic principle of quantum gravity (in the hologram of the Universe, and therefore in our Galaxy, and of course on the Sun!), in which the conflict between the theory of gravitation and quantum mechanics disappears, gives rise to the Babcock-Leighton holographic mechanism. Unlike the solar dynamo models, it generates a strong toroidal magnetic field by means of the thermomagnetic Ettingshausen-Nernst (EN) effect in the tachocline. Hence, it can be shown that with the help of the thermomagnetic EN effect, a simple estimate of the magnetic pressure of an ideal gas in the tachocline of e.g. the Sun can indirectly prove that by using the holographic principle of quantum gravity, the repulsive toroidal magnetic field of the tachocline ($B_{tacho}^{Sun} = 4.1 \cdot 10^7 ~G = - B_{core}^{Sun}$) precisely "neutralizes" the magnetic field in the Sun core, since the projections of the magnetic fields in the tachocline and the core have equal values but opposite directions. The basic problem is a generalized problem of the antidynamo model of magnetic flux tubes (MFTs), where the nature of both holographic effects (the thermomagnetic EN~effect and Babcock-Leighton holographic mechanism), including magnetic cycles, manifests itself in the modulation of asymmetric dark matter (ADM) and, consequently, the solar axion in the Sun interior.

Impulse source of high energy neutrons emitted by fusion reactions after compression of D-T gas by cumulative detonation waves

We develop the physical model and the system of equations for the impulse neutron source (INS) of high-energy neutrons ($\sim$14 MeV) emitted by fusion reactions during compression of D-T gas by cumulative detonation waves. The system of INS equations includes a system of gas dynamic equations that takes into account the energy transfer by radiation, equations for the radiation flux, the equation of the shock adiabat (the Hugoniot adiabat) for a compressed gas, and the equation for the neutron yield. We perform the INS dynamics simulation for the spherical and cylindrical geometries, and calculate maximum temperatures of D-T plasma, its density and neutron yield in the pulse. The obtained temperature estimates and simulation results show that the thermonuclear fusion temperatures are reached within this approach, and the fusion reactions proceed. Their yield determines the yield of neutrons.

Neutron Moderation Theory Taking into Accout the Thermal Motion of Moderating Medium Nuclei

In this paper we present the analytical expression for the neutron scattering law for an isotropic source of neutrons, obtained within the framework of the gas model with the temperature of the moderating medium as a parameter. The obtained scattering law is based on the solution of the kinematic problem of elastic scattering of neutrons on nuclei in the L-system in the general case. I.e. both the neutron and the nucleus possess the arbitrary velocity vectors in the L-system. For the new scattering law the flux densities and neutron moderation spectra depending on the temperature are obtained for the reactor fissile medium. The expressions for the moderating neutrons spectra allow reinterpreting the physical nature of the underlying processes in the thermal region.

Thermomagnetic Ettingshausen-Nernst effect in tachocline and axion mechanism of solar luminosity variations

It is shown that the hypothesis of the axion mechanism for solar luminosity variations suggesting that the solar axion particles are born in the core of the Sun and may be efficiently converted back into $γ$-quanta in the magnetic field of the solar overshoot tachocline is physically relevant. As a result, it is also shown that the intensity variations of the $γ$-quanta of axion origin, induced by the magnetic field variations in the tachocline via the thermomagnetic Ettingshausen-Nernst effect, directly cause the Sun luminosity variations and eventually characterize the active and quiet states of the Sun. Within the framework of this mechanism estimations of the strength of the axion coupling to a photon ($g_{a γ} = 4.4 \cdot 10^{-11} GeV^{-1}$) and the hadronic axion particle mass ($m_a \sim 3.2 \cdot 10^{-2} eV$) have been obtained. It is also shown that the claimed axion parameters do not contradict any known experimental and theoretical model-independent limitations.

Revolution of S-stars and oscillation of solar and terrestrial observables: nonrandom coincidence of periods

A striking coincidence of revolution periods of S-stars orbiting a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way and oscillation periods of such solar and terrestrial observables as the sunspot number, the geomagnetic field Y-component and the global temperature is established on basis of the corresponding experimental data. Rejecting randomness of this discovered coincidence, we put forward a hypothesis that modulation of dark matter flows in the Milky Way by the S-stars is responsible for such a frequency transfer from the Galactic Center to the Solar System.

Axion mechanism of Sun luminosity: light shining through the solar radiation zone

It is shown that the hypothesis of the axion mechanism of Sun luminosity suggesting that the solar axion particles are born in the core of the Sun and may be efficiently converted back into $γ$-quanta in the magnetic field of the solar overshoot tachocline is physically relevant. As a result, it is also shown that the intensity variations of the $γ$-quanta of axion origin, induced by the magnetic field variations in the tachocline, directly cause the Sun luminosity %and total solar irradiance (TSI) variations and eventually characterize the active and quiet states of the Sun. Within the framework of this mechanism estimations of the strength of the axion coupling to a photon ($g_{a γ} = 3.6 \cdot 10^{-11} GeV^{-1}$) and the hadronic axion particle mass ($m_a \sim 2.3 \cdot 10^{-2} eV$) have been obtained. It is also shown that the claimed axion parameters do not contradict any known experimental and theoretical model-independent limitations.

On some fundamental peculiarities of the traveling wave reactor

On the basis of the condition for nuclear burning wave existence in the neutron-multiplicating media (U-Pu and Th-U cycles) we show the possibility of surmounting the so-called dpa-parameter problem, and suggest an algorithm of the optimal nuclear burning wave mode adjustment, which is supposed to yield the wave parameters (fluence/neutron flux, width and speed of nuclear burning wave) that satisfy the dpa-condition associated with the tolerable level of the reactor materials radioactive stability, in particular that of the cladding materials. It is shown for the first time that the capture and fission cross-sections of $^{238}$U and $^{239}$Pu increase with temperature within 1000-3000K range, which under certain conditions may lead to a global loss of the nuclear burning wave stability. Some variants of the possible stability loss due to the so-called blow-up modes (anomalous nuclear fuel temperature and neutron flow evolution) are discussed and are found to possibly become a reason for a trivial violation of the traveling wave reactor internal safety.

Axion mechanism of Sun luminosity, dark matter and extragalactic background light

We show the existence of the strong inverse correlation between the temporal variations of the toroidal component of the magnetic field in the solar tachocline (the bottom of the convective zone) and the Earth magnetic field (the Y-component). The possibility that the hypothetical solar axions, which can transform into photons in external electric or magnetic fields (the inverse Primakoff effect), can be the instrument by which the magnetic field of the Sun convective zone modulates the magnetic field of the Earth is considered. We propose the axion mechanism of Sun luminosity and "solar dynamo -- geodynamo" connection, where the energy of one of the solar axion flux components emitted in M1 transition in 57Fe nuclei is modulated at first by the magnetic field of the solar tachocline zone (due to the inverse coherent Primakoff effect) and after that is resonantly absorbed in the core of the Earth, thereby playing the role of the energy modulator of the Earth magnetic field. Within the framework of this mechanism estimations of the strength of the axion coupling to a photon (g_{a γ} = 7.07e-11 1/GeV), the axion-nucleon coupling (g_{an} = 3.20e-7), the axion-electron coupling (g_{ae} = 5.28e-11) and the axion mass (m_a = 17eV) have been obtained. It is also shown that the claimed axion parameters do not contradict to any known experimental and theoretical model-independent limitations. We consider the effect of dark matter in the form of 17eV axions on the extragalactic back-ground light (EBL) and find that the theoretical spectral intensity of the EBL from decaying axions as a function of the observed wavelength is in good agreement with the known experimental data for the near ultraviolet, optical and near infrared bands (1500-20000 angstrom).

Fukushima plutonium effect and blow-up regimes in neutron-multiplying media

It is shown that the capture and fission cross-sections of 238U and 239Pu increase with temperature within 1000-3000 K range, in contrast to those of 235U, that under certain conditions may lead to the so-called blow-up modes, stimulating the anomalous neutron flux and nuclear fuel temperature growth. Some features of the blow-up regimes in neutron-multiplying media are discussed.

Can Resonant Oscillations of the Earth Ionosphere Influence the Human Brain Biorhythm?

Within the frames of Alfvén sweep maser theory the description of morphological features of geomagnetic pulsations in the ionosphere with frequencies (0.1-10 Hz) in the vicinity of Schumann resonance (7.83 Hz) is obtained. It is shown that the related regular spectral shapes of geomagnetic pulsations in the ionosphere determined by "viscosity" and "elasticity" of magneto-plasma medium that control the nonlinear relaxation of energy and deviation of Alfvén wave energy around its equilibrium value. Due to the fact that the frequency bands of Alfvén maser resonant structures practically coincide with the frequency band delta- and partially theta-rhythms of human brain, the problem of degree of possible impact of electromagnetic "pearl" type resonant structures (0.1-5 Hz) onto the brain bio-rhythms stability is discussed.

The peculiarities of cross-correlation between two secondary precursors - radon and magnetic field variations, induced by stress transfer changes

A model of precursor manifestation mechanisms, stimulated by tectonic activity and some peculiarities of observer strategy, whose main task is the effective measurement of precursors in the spatial area of their occurrence on the Earth's daylight, are considered. In particular, the applicability of Dobrovolsky's approximation is analyzed, when an unperturbed medium (characterized by the simple shear state) and the area of tectonic activity (local inhomogeneity caused by the change only of shear modulus) are linearly elastic, and perturbation, in particular, surface displacement is calculated as a difference of the solutions of two independent static problems of the theory of elasticity with the same boundary condition on the surface. Within the framework of this approximation a formula for the spatial distribution (of first component) of magnetic field variations caused by piezomagnetic effect in the case of perturbed regular medium, which is in simple shear state is derived. Cogent arguments in favor of linear dependence between the radon spatial distribution and conditional deformation are obtained. Changes in magnetic field strength and radon concentrations were measured along a tectonomagnetic profile of the total length of 11 km in the surroundings of the "Academician Vernadsky" Station on the Antarctic Peninsula (W 64°16', S 65°15'). Results showed a positive correlation between the annual surface radon concentration and annual changes of magnetic field relative to a base point, and also the good coincidence with theoretical calculation.

Comment on "Observation of electron-antineutrino disappearance at Daya Bay"

In recent Letter by An et al. [arXiv:1203.1669] Daya Bay measurements of non-zero value for the neutrino mixing angle θ_{13} with a significance of 5.2 standard deviations were reported. The value of sin^2 θ_{13} was determined with a χ^2 constructed with pull terms accounting for the correlation of the systematic errors. We show that a direct applying of the KamLAND parameters of mixing to Daya Bay-experiment under nonequilibrium geoneutrino spectrum of the nuclear burning process within the framework of nonzero nuclear georeactor χ^2 -hypothesis will produce a high uncertainty level and, as a result, a substantial distortion of the actual value of the neutrino mixing angle θ_{13}.

Superluminal neutrinos and quantum cross-correlation theory of neutrino source location

Based on the developed cross-correlation theory for remote location of neutrino source with two-detector setup for neutrino detection the modification of arrangement of the OPERA experiment is suggested. Within the framework of computing experiment based on the OPERA experimental data we show that the use of this theory makes it possible not only to determine with high accuracy the delay time between neutrino signals but to eliminate the errors of blind analysis by which all necessary time corrections for determination of signal "technologically unremovable" delay time between CERN and GSL are performed.
