Thirty-Year Periodicity of Cosmic Rays by Jorge Pérez-Peraza, Víctor Velasco, Igor Ya. Libin, K. F. Yudakhin

“…Cosmogenic isotopes have frequently been employed as proxies of ancient cosmic ray fluxes. On the basis of periodicities of the 10Be time series (using data from both the South and North Poles) and the 14C time series (with data from Intercal-98), we offer evidence of the existence of cosmic ray fluctuations with a periodicity of around 30 years. …”

Classical and Quantum Exact Solutions for a FRW Multiscalar Field Cosmology with an Exponential Potential Driven Inflation by J. Socorro, Omar E. Núñez, Rafael Hernández-Jiménez

“…A flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) multiscalar field cosmology is studied with a particular potential of the form V(ϕ,σ)=V0e-λ1ϕ-λ2σ, which emerges as a relation between the time derivatives of the scalars field momenta. Classically, by employing the Hamiltonian formalism of two scalar fields (ϕ,σ) with standard kinetic energy, exact solutions are found for the Einstein-Klein-Gordon (EKG) system for different scenarios specified by the parameter λ2=λ12+λ22, as well as the e-folding function Ne which is also computed. …”
