A statistical quantization of superluminal (tachyon) radiation is introduced. The tiny tachyonic fine structure constant suggests to depart from the usual quantum field theoretic expansions, and to use more elementary methods such as detailed equilibrium balancing of emission and absorption...

The spectral energy density of an ideal Bose gas of superluminal particles (tachyons) is derived. To this end, we consider atoms in equilibrium with tachyon radiation, study spontaneous and induced transitions effected by tachyons, calculate the Einstein coefficients, all semiclassically, and...
