The whole patent is interesting in my opinion. But look at the graphs in Figure 6… look a little bit familiar? not quite the same profile as recently observed by MFMP or in the Piantelli, Focardi paper linked earlier by Axil, but definitely a raised broad profile. Figure 7 looks quite interesting too ;)

I found this old but interesting patent application by Rugerro Santilli from 2003 on line. http://www.google.com/patents/US20030016774 Is it already known here? Interesting patent. I've been talking people's ears off about stimulated beta and alpha decay (and stimulated electron capture, alpha capture and fission) since November/December. Here is a relevant patent from 1991: http://www.google.com/patents/US5076971 Could even highly excited but normally stable nuclei be stimulated into Beta radiation like this I wonder? This might happen through electron screening, e.g., a larger amount of electron charge around the nucleus than normally happens. Eric
