Experimental Evidence for Physical Reality of Theta Wave by Change in Radionuclide Decay Rates

Abstract

By analysis performed on two independent experiments on radionuclide decay rates, we inferred the physical reality of de Broglie waves. The unexpected result of a variation of decay rates of 32Si and 226Ra with Earth-Sun inverse squared distance, clearly related with solar neutrino flux, is accounted here as a physical action of de Broglie empty waves. The highly illusive neutrino could not account for that rate change unless we consider them as a quantum particle in the causal and non-linear quantum physics framework. Other experiment here studied relating solar flares and changes in 54Mn decay rate reinforce the assumption that the solar neutrino flux is the reason for that variation, with neutrino as a quantum particle in de Broglie framework. In addiction, over and above of discuss further possibilities to confirm, or not, ours conclusions, we report some experimental setups which is

What Is a de Broglie Wave? On Understanding What Physics Tells Us to Calculate

Okupski Arkadiusz

This paper proposes a qualitative geometric interpretation of the de Broglie wave within the framework of the “pencil case” ontology — a model constructed from minimal and explicit assumptions about the structure of physical reality. Spacetime is treated as an active, elastic medium called ECV (Expanded Configuration of the Vacuum). Matter is understood as its local densification — CCV (Compact Configuration of the Vacuum). A particle in motion is described as a bubble (Ba) — a spatially extended, dynamically structured region of CCV. Within this framework, the de Broglie wave is not interpreted as a probability wave nor as a separate accompanying entity. Instead, it is understood as the internal pulse of the bubble itself — a periodic process of localization and delocalization occurring within the vacuum structure. The model introduces three energy thresholds: E_Z(1) — threshold for stable bubble formation E_Z(2) — threshold for activation of localization–delocalization oscillations E_Z(3) — threshold beyond which a delocalized bubble state cannot be sustained (associated with the macroscopic regime) In this interpretation, neutrinos are hypothesized to lie in the immediate vicinity of E_Z(2), which may account for their extremely weak oscillatory visibility in interference-type contexts. The framework offers qualitative reinterpretations of interference phenomena, decoherence, delayed-choice experiments, and neutrino detection. It also formulates falsifiable predictions, including: possible material-dependent asymmetry in slit experiments, discontinuous regime transitions in interference patterns, potential long-term geometric “dissolution” of the lightest neutrino into the vacuum. Written in the spirit of conceptual exploration, the paper employs intuitive physical metaphors (sonar, warm rain dissolving into a cold lake, a weakly excited tuning fork) to clarify the underlying geometric picture. The work does not attempt to replace established quantum theory. Rather, it proposes a coherent ontological narrative describing what the de Broglie wave could represent within a geometric vacuum-based framework.

On de broglie wave nature

Anatoli Vankov

The de Broglie wave phenomenon was studied in the framework of Lagrangean formulation of Relativistic Mechanics. The conclusion was made that the de Broglie wave of a particle is a relativistic phenomenon related to the field-dependent proper mass. The wave develops in a process of proper-to-kinetic mass transformation when the particle is given a momentum. The time-part of the 4-wave vector is related to the proper mass oscillation while the spacial part is due to the momentum; both parts can be treated in terms of virtual (longitudinal and scalar) photons characterizing excitation states of a mediating scalar field. It is shown that in Relativistic Mechanics with the variable proper mass both electromagnetic and gravitational force can be treated on the same footing: both are due to the same source that is, the proper mass. Consequently, the scalar mediating field provides a mechanism of unification of gravitational and electromagnetic forces. The concept of the unified divergence-free field is suggested, in which the real (transverse) photon represents a pure space-like particle while the neutrino is a pure time-like particle. In this connection, the parity problem is discussed.

De Broglie Waves

Carlos López

There are many evidences in Quantum Mechanics about the existence of de Broglie waves: the two-slit experiment, self interference when a particle can follow two or more paths that converge, etc.There is not direct evidence of its existence because we use exclusively particle detectors.This paper presents a new evidence of the existence of de Broglie waves grounded in the action reaction principle.The action reaction principle is a fundamental ingredient of Physics: when two systems interact both change of state (i.e., they depart from the free, isolated evolution path in the phase space).A simple experiment using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is analysed.A representation of the evolution in the phase space for different cases (isolated system and interaction with a detector) is shown.By applying the action reaction principle we show that some subsystem, different from the corpuscular photon, must follow one arm of the interferometer when we can infer that the photon follows the other arm.There cannot be interaction between the photodetector in one arm and the photon following the other arm.This new subsystem would be a distributed de Broglie wave.

Experimental Evidence on the Real Physical Existence of the Subquantum Waves

J. R. Croca, Augusto Garuccio, Mário Gatta +3 more

The question related with the ontic nature of the quantum waves, whether they are mere probability waves or, on the contrary, do have a real physical existence is now settled by recent experiments based on ghost imaging technique. Indeed, these experiments have shown the real physical existence of subquantum waves, named also de Broglie waves, guiding waves, pilot waves, theta waves or subquantum waves. In order to better clarify the situation some minor modifications on the performed experiments are proposed.

Eliminating the Term Vψ and Coefficient 1/2 From Schrodinger’s Wave Equation

Abolfazl Soltani

The validity of the de Broglie formula λ=h⁄p for matter waves has been confirmed by numerous experiments such as Davisson-Germer and G. P. Thomson experiments. But there is a major problem here. If λ=h⁄p is valid for matter waves, we must be able to obtain it for these waves using mathematical calculations. But as you will see here, according to de Broglie's hypothesis, which considers matter wave energy equal to E=hf, this work is impossible; and so, we must change the matter wave energy equation to obtain λ=h⁄p. The change in the equation of energy causes two important changes in Schrodinger’s wave equation. These two changes bring us to a new wave equation. In the other part of the article, you will see that, to explain the reason for the quantization of the orbits in Bohr's atomic model, we need a new atomic model for the Hydrogen atom. The new model leads us to new results and findings. In this article, we show what the cause of the quantization of the orbits in the Bohr atomic model is. In this article we have been able to show the reality and nature of Photon and we show that a Photon is an electromagnetic Pulse. In the spectrum of the hydrogen atom, for example, the intensity of Balmer-alpha is greater than Balmer-beta. Here we have been able to explain why this is the case.
