Abstract

The brief description of installation TAU-2 intended for long-term monitoring of the half-life value $\tau$ ($\tau_{1/2}$) of the $^{214}$Po is presented. The methods of measurement and processing of collected data are reported. The results of analysis of time series values $\tau$ with different time step are presented. Total of measurement time was equal to 590 days. Averaged value of the $^{214}$Po half-life was obtained $\tau=163.46\pm0.04$ $\mu$s. The annual variation with an amplitude $A=(8.9\pm2.3)\cdot10^{-4}$, solar-daily variation with an amplitude $A_{So}=(7.5\pm1.2)\cdot10^{-4}$, lunar-daily variation with an amplitude $A_L=(6.9\pm2.0)\cdot10^{-4}$ and sidereal-daily variation with an amplitude $A_S=(7.2\pm1.2)\cdot10^{-4}$ were found in a series of $\tau$ values. The maximal values of amplitude are observed at the moments when the projections of the installation Earth location velocity vectors toward the source of possible variation achieve its maximal magnitudes.<br />Comment: Talk at The International Workshop on Prospects of Particle Physics: "Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics" February 1 - Ferbuary 8, 2015, Valday,Russia, 7 pages, 12 figure (to be published in PEPAN)
