This report steps through the calculation of Sach's General Relativistic theory as it is approximated, his initial calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron, and considers an alternative mechanism for it within the same theory.
1995  proprietary report "SACH'S UNIFIED FIELD THEORY AND PARTICLE-ANTIPARTICLE SOLUTIONS." By Eric C. Berg. Report RCB-GR-95-03, Apr 1995. Prepared for Strategic Economic Decisions. This report steps through Sach's calculation of the bound particle-antiparticle solution in his theory and discusses how to approach a prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron.

Quantum Chaos Publications:
1996  see note "SINGLE-ELECTRON TUNNELING FROM BOUND STATES ON THE SURFACE OF LIQUID HELIUM." By Gordon F. Saville, John M. Goodkind, and P.M. Platzman. Physical Review Letters Vol. 70, No. 10, p. 1517, Mar 1993. Abstract--We have measured tunneling rates for the escape of electrons from the surface of liquid helium. They agree with calculated results using a 1D image potential previously determined by spectroscopy and a static, single-particle term incorporating the dynamics of the 2D electron gas. (My unpublished work on this continuing experiment involved injecting a microwave driving source in order to search for chaotic tunneling).
