Simple reactor model of relativistic runaway electron avalanche development [PDF]
High-energy gamma radiation in the Earth's atmosphere is associated with the bremsstrahlung of Relativistic Runaway Electron Avalanches (RREA) developing in thunderstorm electric fields. In this paper, RREA development is studied in the system of two strong electric-field regions within thunderstorms, which accelerate runaway electrons toward each ...

Isotope production in thunderstorms [PDF]
Thunderstorms and lightnings are natural particle accelerator systems. Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes, caused by relativistic runaway electron avalanches, produce bursts of $X$ and $ $ rays, energetic enough to produce photo-nuclear reactions within the atmosphere.

According to the analysis of the $^{14}$C content of two Japanese trees over a period of approximately 3000 years at high time resolution, Miyake (2012) found a rapid increase at AD 774-775 and later on at AD 992-993 (Miyake 2013).

Positron clouds within thunderstorms [PDF]
We report the observation of two isolated clouds of positrons inside an active thunderstorm. These observations were made by the Airborne Detector for Energetic Lightning Emissions (ADELE), an array of six gamma-ray detectors, which flew on a Gulfstream V jet aircraft through the top of an active thunderstorm in August 2009.

Creation of radiocarbon C-14 at thunderstorms [PDF]
The synthesis of isotopes is possible under conditions of power electric discharge in the atmosphere. Knowledge of the radioactive 14C yield under flash conditions (as additional channel of 14C production relative to the main - cosmogenic one) is important for radiocarbon analysis. It is proposed the gross model for evaluation of the upper limit of the

Creation of regions for dialect features using a cellular automaton [PDF]
An issue in dialect research has been how to make generalizations from survey data about where some dialect feature might be found. Pre-computational methods included drawing isoglosses or using shadings to indicate areas where an analyst expected a ...
