Ø …the muons come from LENR in the substrate, initiated by the Rydberg mater… This brings up the subject of “muonic hydrogen”. Since the muon is like a heavy electron, it can orbit the proton like an electron. This is fairly well studied. What is needed for LENR, in addition, is a way to significantly increase the lifetime of such an arrangement. In the literature, there is no mention of a decrease in the decay rate of muons - due to orbital capture by a proton. However, the muon is about 200 times heavier than the electron, and muonic hydrogen is the same 200 times smaller in diameter than ordinary hydrogen. In a magnetic field - where the muonic hydrogen is polarized - assuming “inverse-square” applies (and why wouldn’t it?) this situation would seem to create a magnetic near-field which is 40,000 times greater than the normal 12.5 T field. Thus … with a nickel substrate, notably ferromagnetic, or with Holmlid’s iron oxide, also ferromagnetic - perhaps there is a previously unknown phenomenon which is occurring to alter the decay rate of muonic hydrogen and do it via magnetism ? SPP also have a large effective magnetic field. We could be talking megatesla (1,000,000 Tesla field strength) in combination. Of course, near fields are always much stronger, but this is the magnetic field equivalent of a neutron star.
