On the similarity of 239Pu α $\alpha$ -activity histograms when the angular velocities of the Earth diurnal rotation, orbital movement and rotation of collimators are equalized

Abstract

It was shown earlier that the persistent “scatter” of results of measurements of any nature is determined by the diurnal and orbital movement of the Earth. The movement is accompanied by “macroscopic fluctuations” (MF)—regular, periodic changes in the shape of histograms, spectra of fluctuation amplitudes of the measured parameters. There are two near-daily periods (“sidereal”, 1436 min; and “solar”, 1440 min) and three yearly ones (“calendar”, 365 average solar days; “tropical”, 365 days 5 h and 48 min; and “sidereal”, 365 days 6 h and 9 min). This periodicity was explained by the objects whose parameters are measured passing through the same spatial-temporal heterogeneities as the Earth rotates and shifts along its orbit.
