There is another possibility: Photogeneration of mesons from nuclei, I have a suspicion this might be what Holmlid believes is occurring I the UDD. Interestingly this effect is caused by exciting a nucleon resonance for example the Delta resonance which effectively "opens the door" for meson (pion in this case) generation. Interestingly it also works with light nuclei such as He, D and T so is not limited by the binding energy, probably this is due to the energy coming directly from high MeV photon stimulation of the nucleon rather than excitation and de-excitation of the nucleus.
I can't help wondering if in the absence of this photon source there can be a kind of coupling between a nucleon resonant state and the nucleus excitation state of similar Energy, spin and polarity. It is astonishing the amount of information, theory and experimentation projects and data there is on the internet regarding Kaon and Pion generation and their interaction with nuclei. It's been investigated massively in the past. If Kaons and Pions are in fact seen in Holmlid's experiment and Possibly other LENR devices it could well be worth reviewing them. Well I guess I have a lot to read now and try to understand. > On 28 Oct 2015, at 01:05, Eric Walker <eric.wal...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Tue, Oct 27, 2015 at 6:56 PM, Stephen Cooke <stephen_coo...@hotmail.com> >> wrote: >> >> The alternatives are also hard to explain, however: > > There is another alternative you didn't mention -- Holmlid has a fertile > imagination and is confused and needs to pull in someone who knows how to > measure charged particle radiation. > > Eric >
