One not on the list: possible influence of solar neutrinos on nuclear decay rates. I'm not sure of the current state of this research, but last I heard 4 years

  Here's a recent summary ... > Concerning the variability of beta-decay measurements > (Submitted on 20 Oct 2015) > Many experiments have been carried out to study the beta-decay rates of a variety of nuclides, and many - but not all - of these experiments yield evidence of variability of these rates. While there is as yet no accepted theory to explain patterns in the results, a number of conjectures have been proposed. We discuss three prominent conjectures (which are not mutually exclusive) - that variability of beta-decay rates may be due to (a) environmental influences, (b) solar neutrinos, and (c) cosmic neutrinos. We find evidence in support of each of these conjectures. http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.05996 http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.05996
