I vote for option #2 being the source of this signal, the ‘neutral’ particles being crazy neutrons, ‘mischugenons’ as described Edward Teller in earlier closely related cold fusion work. Some few of us have been able to produce these critters. It’s good news if this particular recipe works and is rapidly repeated. Some obvious steps will define the nature of the emission.

One of the researchers that I discussed this with suggested that the spectrum looked like a blackbody radiation. I did some analysis and can tell you that it does NOT look like blackbody radiation. Blackbody radiation cuts off very sharply on the high energy side. At 100 million degrees, there would be some energy at 100keV, but by the time it got to 1MeV, the blackbody radiation would have declined by 40 orders of magnitude. That is not what is seen here. It is really hard to explain a continuous spectrum that looks like it probably spans at least 2 orders of magnitude in photon energy with maximum energies over 1MeV. The best explanations so far (and there has not been a chance for widespread vetting) are that it is due to: 1) Bremsstrahlung from really high energy light charged particles [electrons, positrons] with a distribution of energy, or 2) interference in the NaI detector by a flux of neutral particles causing the apparent spectrum by activation of the Na, I, and Th in the detector crystal. Thank you for the links. I will have a look these papers.

Bob Higgins, in my work with Akito, I proposed that in cold fusion you have, unlike the conventional fusion, the fusion of more than 2 nuclei. There are not experiments with more than 2 nuclei fusioning (C12 is formed by B8, which is stable for 10^-15s, I am talking here of something less than 10^-23s in coincidence). This will form an excited ball that will shine at a few kev. There will surely be brehmstralung, from this weak gama rays. http://vixra.org/abs/1209.0057 http://vixra.org/abs/1401.0202
