Only after doing six Fundamental Physics discoveries, it became possible to resolve some puzzling issues of Astrophysics including Solar Physics:
Within a radioisotope or XRF
source, ionizing radiations (Gamma rays, X-rays and beta
particles) first generate Dark Radiation, which in turn
produces UV dominant optical emission, high energy spectrum
from the same excited atom by a previously unknown phenomenon
explained by the author. The fact that Solar gamma rays,
X-rays, and electrons similarly causing EUV provides the vital
key for ionizing radiations to cause EUV within excited atoms
of radioisotopes by the newly described atomic phenomenon.
Presence of radioisotopes in Sun could most likely happen by
fission.
Therefore fission seems to be most viable possibility over
the traditional belief on fusion.
The current research enabled to
define exactly "Dark Radiation" as electromagnetic radiation
with energies in eV level that falls in spectral range
slightly higher than that of UV or EUV radiation. As
currently available detectors like Photomultiplier tube,
say 9635QB (THORN EMI) cannot efficiently
detect these energies, they are termed as Dark
Radiation.
The current research enabled to say
"
Dark
Matter
" constitutes fission
fragments
like
137
Cs, and
90 Sr. In simple words, spent fuel rods contain Dark Matter. Many core electrons get knocked out of atom in the newly formed radioisotopes in fission reaction. A highly ionized radioisotope left with only one filled shell, as in the case of tritium, would exclusively emit Dark Radiation , as further emission of UV dominant optical radiation requires atleast two filled shells.
Solar fission is responsible for cosmic rays received on
Earth.

Doing six fundamental (physics) discoveries could be new
record in Science
Discovery, a rare event and a mile stone in science, is not possible to do by every scientist or nation. Madam Curie (France) and John Bardeen (USA) could do two discoveries for which they were awarded Nobel Prize twice.
Incredibly, research work of the Indian Scientist
M.A.Padmanabha Rao seems to account for six fundamental
physics discoveries. It could be the first time a single
scientist doing six fundamental discoveries in
science.
After going through
experimental results, readers are requested to report their
views.
The current work
represents previously unexplored area of sub-atomic research
using radioisotopes and XRF sources led to six fundamental
physics discoveries in X-ray, nuclear, atomic, solid state,
radiation physics, and atomic spectra that are in fact six
sub-atomic discoveries.
WHAT TRIGGERED THIS RESEARCH?
Progress in science is often marked by surprise findings. The conditions favored the current research are two.
Uncommon experimental set
up: Use of a bare PMT (9635QB, THORN EMI), a light sensor
greatly facilitated the light detection from
ionizing radiation sources, when experiments were
just aimed for evaluation of PMT performance in the
detection of ionizing radiations.
Surprise
finding: When each of the radioisotopes and XRF sources kept
directly over the Quartz window of the PMT (9635QB
THORN EMI), Rb XRF source (AMC 2084, UK.) exhibited
spectacular counts, 28 times high over
the Rb XRF yield around the year 1988. The single
event heralded advancements in many areas
of physics including atomic, nuclear, radiation,
solid state and modern physics, atomic
spectroscopy and physics of
metals.
Why others could not detect it?
1. The light intensity is so feeble that it cannot be seen by naked eye. 2. The dominant UV, being invisible and emerges as a single beam along with ionizing radiations from source.
The first and most difficult task was in identifying the excessive radiation detected from Rb XRF source as light that became possible only when experimentally segregated light from ionizing radiations.
Experimental evidence for optical
radiation
After four years of experimentation to know the exact cause for the excessive counts from Rb XRF source, introduction of a thin back polyethylene sheet in between Rb XRF source and PMT caused a steep fall in counts that gave a suspicion of light. However, a very feeble intense light observed at room temperature did not allow using atomic spectrometer in determining the nature of its spectrum.
T
wo optical techniques designed by
the author confirmed optical radiation
1. Using Narrow band optical filters : Narrow band optical filers kept over bare PMT were the first to provide concrete evidence of unpredented UV dominant optical radiation, high energy spectrum at room temperature from Rb XRF source, and all other radioisotopes (except tritium) and XRF sources tested.
The results were very intriguing as three types of sources with wide diversity showed UV dominant optical radiation, high energy spectrum at room temperature
(a) XRF sources such as Rb, Ba, and Tb XRF sources present as Rb, Ba, and Tb salts,
(b) radioisotopes like 137 Cs present as radiochemicals, and
(c) metals at room temperature when present as XRF sources (Cu, Mo, and Ag XRF source) and radioisotopes ( 57 Co, 60 Co) against incandescence.
2. Using a pair of Sheet Polarizers : In order to better understand the nature of optical spectrum, a pair of sheet polarizers were used and estimated percent UV, visible (VIS), and near infrared (NIR) radiation intensities in gross light intensity from each source by a technique specially designed for the purpose (Refer Discovery 1, Discovery 2 and Discovery 3). Spectra measured with narrow band optical filters represent emission spectra directly from source. The technique with sheet polarizers clearly establishes the fact that the optical radiation originates from source itself and not due to luminescence from any neighboring material. The spectral results confirmed that all these sources cause a typical UV dominant optical spectrum, a high energy spectrum due to involvement of ionizing radiations.
WHAT IS NEW TO PHYSICS?
Three experimental discoveries
Discovery 1
UV dominant optical emission was detected from Rb, Ba, and Tb XRF sources present as Rb, Ba, Tb salts in AMC 2084 (Amersham International).
Discovery 1 explains
that
Solar X-rays from
radioisotopes that emit X-rays by Electron Capture
could cause EUV by a previously
unknown Atomic Phenomenon explained by M.A.
Padmanabha Rao.
Diagnostic X-ray tubes in hospitals, XRF sources used
in research and industry emit UV.
Also explains why 'after optical glow' following X-rays
from X-ray
pulsars.
Discovery 2
UV dominant optical emission was also detected from radioisotopes present as radiochemicals like 137 CsCl.
Solar gamma rays from predominantly gamma emitting
radioisotopes cause EUV by a previously
unknown Atomic Phenomenon
explained by M.A.Padmanabha Rao.
This discovery explains 'after optical glow' following gamma
rays from Gamma ray busters
(GRBs).
Radiopharmaceuticals used in Nuclear Medicine, and
metallic
60
Co used as Teletherapy
for cancer treatment emit Dark Radiation as well
as EUV and UV causing higher radiation dosage to
patients than what is estimated so
far.
Dark Radiation as well as EUV, and UV cause higher radiation
dose to men and equipment, in certain occasions of
exposing to open air during space travel, than what
is estimated so far based on ionizing radiations
alone.
If ionizing radiations and UV are detected simultaneously by
two detectors can bring down the minimal detection
limits.
Discovery 3
UV dominant optical emission was also detected from metals present as radioisotopes such as 57 Co; and Cu, Mo, and Ag XRF sources unprecedented at room temperature against familiar incandescence. Since metal constitutes metal atoms, UV dominant optical radiation newly detected from metallic sources hinted two important aspects.
Optical Emission
Optical radiation detected from metals (metallic sources) at room temperature against familiar incandescence suggested optical emission by a previously unknown phenomenon.
New class of Atomic Spectra of
Solids
(
radioisotopes,
and XRF
sources)
at Room
Temperature:
Since metal constitutes metal atoms, UV dominant optical spectrum of metallic sources such as 57 Co representing excited 57 Co metal atoms hinted that it is atomic emission of light. The excited atoms become free atoms due to valence excitation causing fluorescent light emission.
The current study suggests that Solar EUV lines observed by Astrophysicists are due to high energy atomic spectra of radioisotopes indicating existence of radioisotopes in Sun. The spectra of excited atoms in radioisotopes can take place even at room temperature. The radioisotopes may get highly ionized in the fission reaction. Possibility exists for presence of abundant Uranium in Sun to cause fission. The excited highly ionized atoms of fission fragments (radioisotopes) constitute DARK MATTER. During fission reaction, most core electrons get knocked out of a radioisotope and left with a singly filled shell, it would emit only Dark radiation, and even the UV dominant optical emission if left with two filled shells. Dark Matter comprising of excited free atoms lasts in atomic state as long as the atoms remain in excited state.
NEW ATOMIC STATE OF MATTER
The measurement of UV dominant high energy atomic spectrum of excited metallic 57 Co atoms providing the first evidence for formation of free atoms within solid radioisotopes and XRF sources marked an important step on the existence of a new 'atomic state of matter' in solids at room temperature. Hopefully, futuristic studies will allow the characteristics of this fascinating new form of matter to be explored in detail .
These free excited atoms situated in between unexcited metal atoms within the solid sources at room temperature cause a new class of atomic spectra as they distinctly differ from thermally excited atoms in gaseous phase that cause standard atomic spectra. Since ionizing radiations with keV or MeV energies are involved they caused UV dominant high energy spectra .
Explanation of these the above discoveries resulted into three more discoveries
Discovery 4
Bharat or Dark
Radiation is daughter
radiation
emission
(predicted) from XRF sources and
radioisotopes
In order to explain UV emission, the author has predicted that ionizing radiation energies in keV or MeV first produce some exciting energies higher than that of UV, at eV level necessary for valence excitation and successive emission of fluorescent light from within parent excited atoms of XRF sources and radioisotopes. E mission of previously unknown electromagnetic radiation (temporarily named Bharat radiation came to be known already as DARK RADIATION ) from radioisotopes and XRF sources, the tenet of six discoveries is absolutely revolutionary.
Therefore ionizing radiations (beta, gamma and
X-radiations) are successively followed by the predicted
Bharat or DARK emission, and the newly detected optical
emission from parent excited atom of XRF sources and
radioisotopes.

Discovery 6: New Atomic phenomenon
The first Core- Coulomb field interaction
The author explained how Dark and optical radiation emissions take place by a previously unknown atomic phenomenon, which is essentially core-Coulomb interaction ofbeta, gamma, and X-radiations. Degradation of energies from keV or MeV to eV level is the hallmark of this phenomenon, but interpreted in familiar terms as ionizing radiations causing Dark, and optical emissions.
Explanation how Dark Radiation is generated
Spectral results provided the key that X-, γ and β radiations produced within an excited atom in XRF source or radioisotope act simply as energies in keV or MeV and lose a few eV while passing through core - Coulomb field. The loss of energy reappears as electromagnetic radiation with energy in eV level but higher than that of the UV or far-UV radiation that the source emits. Dark radiation is the first generation of X-ray, γ-ray, or β–particle. The Dark radiation produced thus excites valence electron, and gives rise to 'Atomic spectra from solids at room temperature' following ionizing radiation from the same parent excited atom (discovery 5)
As excited atom is the source of
ionizing,
Dark
and optical radiations, all these
six discoveries come
under sub-atomic
discoveries.
Experimental evidence shows beta is not particle within
excited atom
Within the excited atom, equally energetic beta, gamma, and X-radiations show equal performance. Electron not exhibiting particle behavior, but behaving like gamma and X-ray resolves the long standing puzzle between matter and waves. To conclude, gamma, X-ray and electron are simply energy carriers (refer above website: edas ).
