I suspect that if you look at gammas that are emitted when a neutron is absorbed, you will see that they match differences in energy levels of the new nucleus. I just assumed that the same would be true for proton absorption, however I may be wrong about that because the proton is a charged particle where a neutron is not. OTOH, if the proton is accompanied by an electron into the Ni nucleus, then the result could be the same as for neutron absorption. In short a study of these non-existent gammas could be quite enlightening. ;) >If the rapidly accelerating charge is the source then we could slow down that >progression with the external coupling to other protons, etc. That is what I >am seeking. Personally, I don't see how this would work, but that could just be my blind spot. :) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
