Discrete interactions and the Pioneer anomalous acceleration: Alternative II
Abstract
Description
The dominant contributions from a discrete gravitational interaction produce the standard potential as an effective continuous field. The sub-dominant contributions are, in a first approximation, linear on $n$, the accumulated number of (discrete) interaction events along the test-body trajectory. For a nearly radial trajectory $n$ is proportional to the transversed distance and its effects may have been observed as the Pioneer anomalous constant radial acceleration, which cannot be observed on the nearly circular planetary orbits. Here we give calculation details of the alternative II, discussed in gr-qc/0106046.
