	False vacuum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A false vacuum is a metastable sector of a quantum field theory which appears to be a perturbative vacuum but is unstable to instanton effects which tunnel to a lower energy state.
		The key insight is that a false vacuum with positive potential energy density is a de Sitter vacuum, in which the potential energy acts as a cosmological constant and the universe is undergoing the exponential expansion of de Sitter space.
		Vacuum decay is the ultimate ecological catastrophe; in the new vacuum there are new constants of nature; after vacuum decay, not only is life as we know it impossible, so is chemistry as we know it.

		Another advantage is that vacuum cleaner type outlets could be located throughout the interior of the airplane so that the vacuum power of the system could be used to clean the interior of the airplane or vacuum the rugs in a manner similar to a central vacuum cleaning system.
		The main purpose in producing a vacuum is to be able to remove the waste matter from each of the toilet compartments and transport it through the drain lines to a central holding tank where it can be processed and simplify the servicing of the airplane.
		In comparison with the dry matter flush tests, the decay rate in the vacuum pressure during the wet matter flush tests is much less due to the sealing of the water in the lines.

	Virtual particle Summary
		The spontaneous emission of a photon during the decay of an excited atom or nucleus; such a decay is prohibited by ordinary quantum mechanics and requires the quantization of the electromagnetic field for its explanation,
		In short, the vacuum of a stationary frame appears, to the accelerated observer, to be a warm gas of real particles in thermodynamic equilibrium.
		For instance, the beta decay of a neutron can happen through the emission of a single virtual, negatively charged W particle that almost immediately decays into a real electron and antineutrino; the neutron turns into a proton when it emits the W particle.

	CERN Courier - Calling long distance: Genev - IOP Publishing - article
		A decay tunnel with air would have resulted in a 28% loss of particles as compared with a vacuum tube; a tube filled with helium would have led to a 7% loss and would still have required a vacuum chamber to evacuate the air first and contain the helium.
		The decay tube itself is a 992 m long steel tube, 2.45 m in diameter and 18 mm thick: it is allegedly the largest standard diameter used in the oleoduct (oil pipeline) industry, and a larger size would have produced little gain in neutrino intensity.
		Before the decay tube could be installed, the components of the beam dump had to be transported to the end of the tunnel and assembled.

		Vacuum drying is the removal of liquid material from a solution or mixture under reduced air pressure, which results in drying at a lower temperature than is required at full pressure.
		Vacuum distillation works on the principle that boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid exceeds the ambient pressure (atmospheric pressure above it or pressure in the distillation apparatus.) In standard thermal distillation, the vapor pressure is increased.
		Vacuum Metallizing- Vacuum metallizing is the process of evaporating metals (most commonly aluminum) in a vacuum chamber, which then bond to the desired parts to achieve a thin uniform layer.

		TME uses the decay curve in its "Test Plot" graphic display and in its "Memory Reference Curve" technology, in which the decay curve for an acceptable test part is determined and reject decisions are made by the test instrument by comparing the test decay curve to the acceptable "memory reference curve" for the test part.
		Determination of leaks in a device using the "pressure decay" method involves pressurizing the device to a predetermined pressure, locking out the supply source of the pressure and sensing a pressure change ("decay") during a predetermined test time.
		A vacuum is then created inside the fitting, which effectively enhances the seal on the open end of the test part, and a vacuum decay test is performed to evaluate the seams of the pipe fitting.

		The test procedure draws a vacuum on the annular space and monitors for vacuum decay over a prescribed period of time.
		However, there is a time period that has been established by laboratory tightness testing to recognize an acceptable change in the vacuum level and this will vary based on the tank annular space volume, the type of fluid in the tank and the backfill conditions.
		If the vacuum level is 8” Hg or higher at the end of the hold time, and the annular space is dry, the tank has passed the test.

		Also, the vacuum chamber must be well-constructed to maintain a tight seal, and vacuum pumps must be purchased and maintained.
		The sniffer is a tube that uses a mechanical vacuum pump to draw air to the mass spectrometer.
		For example, pressure decay and hydrogen are increasingly used in tandem: the pressure-decay system tests all parts to ensure leak integrity, and a hydrogen test is performed only on those parts that fail, pinpointing the number and location of leaks for quality assurance and process improvement.

		Coleman says, "Let's gear ourselves and imagine that the familiar vacuum we've been living for 13 billion years or so, is in fact not the most stable vacuum.

	The Energetic Vacuum
		Puthoff and his associates using a "condensed charge technology device" indicate that the vacuum indeed has significant "excess" energy that is tappable; further work to make sure of their results (to avoid the problems that plagued the cold fusion controversy), and eventual publication will be done.
		To begin, without careful thought as to the role that the vacuum plays in particle-vacuum interactions, it would only be natural to assume that any attempt to extract energy from the vacuum might somehow violate energy conservation laws or thermodynamic constraints (as in misguided attempts to extract energy from a heat bath under equilibrium conditions).
		In this case vacuum-plus-plates-far-apart is a higher energy state than vacuum- plus-plates-close-together, and the combined system will decay from the higher- energy state to the lower, in the process creating kinetic energy, then heat, to conserve overall energy.

		Also, in the case of foam in the sample, the pressure decay begins much earlier than expected in a normal sample; in the case of a clot in the sample, the pressure decay begins much later than expected in a normal sample.
		The pressure normalization circuit, using sample and hold circuitry as is known in the art, normalizes the amplified pressure signal to a reference level, typically 0 volts, upon a signal from the controller.
		In determining the amount of vacuum needed to hold up the column of fluid, the pressure of the aspiration is measured over time.

		The second is the vacuum stability bound: the running Higgs coupling constant lambda(mu) should not become negative leading to the instability of the usual SM vacuum.
		The lower part of each curve coincides with the vacuum stability bound and the point in the top right hand corner, where it meets the triviality bound curve, is the quasifixed infra-red fixed point for that value of /\.

		It would replace or supplement such present tests as engine-applied vacuum/vacuum decay, leak-detection pump, etc. Current regulations require the onboard diagnostic system to identify.040- and.020-inch leaks, and there are regulatory plans to take those numbers down even further.
		Each carmaker develops specific software routines that allow the PCM to use the engine-off measurements of pressure and vacuum to detect leakage rates, and these routines are proprietary.
