Soft multi-photon radiation from hard higher energy reaction sources can be employed to describethree major well established properties of biophoton radiation; Namely, (i) the mild radiation in-tensity decreases for higher frequencies, (ii) the coherent state Poisson counting statistics, and (iii)the time delayed luminescence with a hyperbolic time tail. Since the soft photon frequencies spanthe visible to the ultraviolet frequency range, the hard reaction sources have energies extending intothe nuclear transmutation regime.

I. INTRODUCTION

Biophotons refer to a certain kind of radiation emittedby virtually all living systems[1, 2]. The photons areemitted in the range from the visible to the ultraviolet,say

2.5 1014 Hz <

< 1015 Hz. (1)

The spectrum of emitted biophotons may be describedby the spectral distribution per unit frequency per unittime per unit area,

and with a measured range of total biophoton radiationrates per unit area
