Phenomenology Based on Tachyon Exchange

Abstract

The observation that the existence of tachyonic resonances can lead to peaks in differential cross sections implies a phenomenology of high-energy processes. A large class of hadronic differential cross sections shows a common peak at -t= 1.0 ( G~v / c )~. We present a detailed fit of the K-p and ?rep charge-exchange (CEX) differential cross sections and determine that both processes are consistently fitted by using a tachyonic resonance with m 2 = -1.0 G~v'. and r = 580 MeV. The spin of the resonance determines the energy shrinkage rate and i s of the form j =-a +i u. A value of u=0.15 leads to an adequate fit to the data. The other quantum numbers of this strongly interacting tachyon are I = 1, G parity even, and Y parity even.Other possible examples of tachyonic resonances are described.

Chinese consensus on the diagnosis and management of autoimmune hepatitis (2015)

“…Recurrence is defined as serum aminotransferase levels >3 × ULN combined with an increase in serum IgG and/or γ-globulin levels of any degree. 15,18,24 Recurrence after drug withdrawal is one of the clinical features of AIH. One year after drug withdrawal, approximately 59% of patients who achieve clinical remission for at least 2 years require to be treated again; the percentage rises to 73% after 2 years, and to 81% after 3 years.…”

Liver Biopsy - Indications, Procedures, Results

“…For example, histological analysis of the liver in patients with chronic HCV-induced liver disease gives information about the grading (inflammatory activity) and the staging (degree of fibrosis) that predict the course of disease; the treatment is often advocated for those with at least moderate to severe staging, but may be withheld when fibrosis is minimal or absent [10]. Liver histology is also generally used in disease monitoring of patients with AIH [11]. Monitoring the plasma cell score on LB may help predict relapse when a physician is considering reducing or discontinuing immunosuppressive therapy [12].…”

“…Monitoring the plasma cell score on LB may help predict relapse when a physician is considering reducing or discontinuing immunosuppressive therapy [12]. For further information on the role of histological analysis in the management of individual liver diseases, is possible to see guidelines for HCV [10], HBV [13], hemochromatosis [14], cholestatic liver diseases [15], AIH [11], and Wilson's disease [16].…”

Bound states in the tachyon exchange potential

“…Virtual tachyon states (whatever they are) could participate in an interaction between bradyons (i.e., slower-than-light particles) [15,16]. In particular, peaks in the meson-nucleon differential cross-sections are effectively treated in [17] as tachyon resonances.…”
