A sheet of paper makes no difference whatsoever. A sheet of aluminum foil doesn't make much difference but a nickel coin blocks most of this small sample. The Gamma Scout is picking up x-rays which are not stopped by paper (even though alpha particles themselves would be). However, to be fair - a

This is not what Cook and Rossi are now saying. They are claiming in this so-called “mainstream physics” paper, that lithium + proton fusion to helium accounts for the gain. If neutrons were involved there would be neutron activation, a widely known phenomenon - not seen at Lugano. It l

The amount of nickel Ni62 in the fuel load doubled from some unknown combination of lighter elements. This fusion process should have released a huge amount of nuclear binding energy. It is possible that the only thing that lithium did was donate its neutron to the Nickel 58 to turn it into Nickel
