Greetings,
I have tried to look through the archives of this NG for some
commentary on these interesting papers, but see only vague references
during discussion of less reputable sources like Cahill or Miller.
Some papers are available on the arxiv, e.g.

http://arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/0412/0412007.pdf

These results seem too interesting to not have had attempted repeats
to rule out systematic errors, especially because of the low-budget
nature of the experiments. Also it appears there has been about ten
years since original publication.

Any comments? Any possible explanations in terms of Sagnac effect
or other local physics?

What "systematic errors" could there be?

Thanks for your reply Harry. That's the thing about systematic
errors, is you don't yet know what they are. For example, a bug in
their histogram comparison program.. but the chances that would lead
to a siderial period are of basically nil. I can't think of a
systematic error other than unconscious human bias that would lead to
those results but that doesn't mean there couldn't be one, or that an
independent confirmation would be a waste of time.

Apparently these results have been
confirmed by independent researchers.

Thanks, this is why I posted. Can you point me to their names or
papers?

Obviously neither Sagnac effect nor
other established physics can explain such results.

The observation of a correlation with the Earth's rotation, axis as
well as period, immediately suggested to me the Sagnac effect. As we
don't know the microphysics of alpha emission there could be some
relativistic effect.. spin is involved.
