Tachyons revisited
Description
An apparently significant result in an experiment to search for tachyons in the interval of time immediately preceding in the arrival of air showers of energy approximately 1015 eV is considered. Several similar experiments have been completed, all of which have yielded null results. The original data of the foregoing reference have been re-examined and it is shown that an artifact of the apparatus was contributing to the original apparently significant results. (orig./BJ)

Die Arbeit geht aus von einem offensichtlich bedeutsamen Ergebnis eines Experiments, das Tachyonen in einem Zeitintervall, das unmittelbar vor dem Eintreffen von Luftschauern der Energie ca. 1015 eV nachzuweisen versucht. Einige aehnliche Experimente wurden abgeschlossen, deren Ergebnisse jedoch gleich Null waren. Die Originalmessdaten des oben erwaehnten Versuchs wurden erneut geprueft, und es wird gezeigt, dass ein Artefakt im Versuchsaufbau zu dem urspruenglich vielversprechenden Ergebnis beitrug.
