[A study of the correlation between the functional activity of blood lymphocytes in different animals and the intensity of neutron radiation near the Earth surface].

A correlation between the functional activity of the synthesis apparatus of blood lymphocytes in different animals and the variations in the neutron count rate near the Earth surface has been studied. From 1999 to 2002 for rats and from 2002 to 2003 for ground squirrels, a reliable positive correlation between the synthetic activity of animal blood lymphocytes and the neutron count rate was found. The correlation was observed for both the neutron flux directed towards the Earth and the total neutron flux (the neutron field of the Earth).

[Forms of histograms constructed from measurements of alpha-decay of 228Ra in Lindau (Germany) and neutron fluxes in Moscow change synchronously according to the local time].

In joint experiments performed at Max Plank Institute of Aeronomy (Germany) and the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics in Pushchino, the main manifestations of the phenomenon of macroscopic fluctuations were confirmed. An increased probability of the similarity in synchronous histograms in independent measurements performed by two installations in one laboratory and in two laboratories separated by a distance of 2000 km was shown. In the latter case, the similarity of histograms is most probable at the same local time.
