What they demonstrate, IMHO, is that the SPAWAR pits occur: 1/ when the deposit is dendritic, not when it is spongy, and
2/ when the CR-39 chip is in direct contact with the cathode wire, not when a 6 micron mylar is interposed Result 2/ does NOT prove conclusively IMHO that any alpha particles produced are less energetic than the ~1MeV needed to go through 6µm of mylar as they suggest, another possibility that occurs to me is that the material in direct contact with the cathode wire matters, i.e. that CR-39 induces a nuclear effect and mylar doesn't. Has this possibility been considered?
