Space-Time Diffusion of Ground and Its Fractal Nature

Abstract

We present evidences of the diffusive motion of the ground and tunnels and show that if systematic movements are excluded then the remaining uncorrelated component of the motion obeys a characteristic fractal law with the displacement variance dY^2 scaling with time- and spatial intervals T and L as dY^2 \propto T^(Alpha)L^(Gamma) with both exponents close to 1. We briefly describe experimental methods of the mesa- and microscopic ground motion detection used in the measurements at the physics research facilities sensitive to the motion, particularly, large high energy elementary particle accelerators. A simple mathematical model of the fractal motion demonstrating the observed scaling law is also presented and discussed.
