Axil, Please, by all means keep the speculations and the "emabarassing" experimental advice coming. I have learned a lot from you and many other people here. Vortex has been the most useful forum as far as gaining insight into replicating Rossi.
Yes, I have a gieger counter that will detect gammas as well as thermal neutrons. Do I need a detector for fast neutrons? I will be placing this detector inside the blast chamber with the reactor so that it can detect any of these radiations. I figured 8" of concrete should be sufficient to block most of the gammas. As for your other advise, I have no idea how to implement many of those. For instance, you suggested using a cloud chamber. How do you build one? How does one detect 6 MeV protons? Where can I buy a scintillation detector? What kind? Remember, I am not a physicist and my background is not physics. So, sorry for the stupid questions. And if we are afraid of danger all the time, we can never achieve anything worthwhile. I think danger should be managed, not avoided. Jojo
