Abstract: We say that a sequence $(x_n{)}_{ninmathbbN}$ in $[0,1)$ has Poissonian pair correlations if �egin{equation*} lim_{N o infty} frac{1}{N} # lbrace 1 leq l eq m leq N: | x_l - x_m | leq frac{s}{N} brace = 2s end{equation*} for every $sgeq0$. In this note we study the pair correlation statistics for the sequence of shifts of $alpha$, $x_n=lbrace{2}^{n}alphabrace,n=1,2,3,ldots$, where we choose $alpha$ as the Champernowne constant in base $2$. Throughout this article $lbracecdotbrace$ denotes the fractional part of a real number. It is well known that $(x_n{)}_{ninmathbbN}$ has Poissonian pair correlations for almost all normal numbers $alpha$ (in the sense of Lebesgue), but we will show that it does not have this property for all normal numbers $alpha$, as it fails to be Poissonian for the Champernowne constant.
