yes they use the Beta-Delayed Alpha decay, with the argument that beta- decay is blocked because of too many electrons around, pauli-excluding alpha electrons... this decay is well known, so no new physics involved... it can be considered by classic Q physic... now is it true... nb: if on want to make his own opinion, one should read the dozen of key slides (and papers if more courage) start with the index: http://www.slideshare.net/lewisglarsen/lattice-energy-llcindex-to-concepts-experiments-and-documents-september-14-2009 and follow the links the first to read IMHo is http://www.slideshare.net/lewisglarsen/lattice-energy-llctechnical-overviewjune-25-2009 W-L theory have the characteristic to use many observed phenomenon, and assemble them so they can explain LENR. another key point is that larsen have mane very good documents for evangelization. for that 2 facts, i've never found another more convincing theory. hints welcome. > > > >> Thus, the constant attacks of Krivit on MacKubre's M4 experiment.
