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 traversed 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.8 pagesGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyAstrophysicsHigh Energy Physics - TheoryDiscrete fields and the Pioneer anomalous accelerationtext
