Laser cooling ... could this mechanism (arguably) have a connection to the
Holmlid effect?
Holmlid suggests that laser irradiation in his reactor is able to annihilate
protons, converting them to muons, Ostensibly this sounds more like heating
than cooling.
Unfortunately his company - Norront Fusion - has failed, and his results were
not convincingly replicated (or were they?).
At any rate - there is a remote possibility that the laser irradiation used by
Holmlid was operating to cool dense hydrogen, following which it was more
easily reacted/absorbed/fused by the catalyst... or else was somehow made
'friable' by laser cooling,
Agreed ! this seems most improbable
,,, but so does almost everything else in Holmlid's saga.
