This paper goes all the way back to 1920 - by H. D. Smyth and K. T. Compton Palmer Physical Laboratory, Princeton, New Jersey. One of those names should be familiar- Karl was Arthur's brother.
http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PR/v16/i6/p501_1 This concerns the strong fluorescence effect on ionization of Iodine. Iodine is not normally a Mills/Rydberg-multiple catalyst. When fluorescing under the influence of a mercury green line emitter, iodine vapor shows weaker ionization at a potential about 2.6 volts less than the normal ionizing potential... An observed ionizing potential was found to be 6.8 volts, due to fluorescing molecules... The interesting part of this, from the standpoint of using iodine as a catalytic "hole" for f/H, following Mills rules for Rydberg multiples - is that iodine is both easily vaporized and the 6.8eV I.P. is a whole fraction of 27.2 eV - one quarter. In a reactor containing hydrogen and iodine vapor, along with HI gas - where lots of UV is being emitted and absorbed, there should be large levels of photo-assisted ionization, perhaps even semi-coherence. You would not need an external emission source after startup. Is it possible to accomplish the first level drop of one Ry in partial steps instead of one full step? Well, NO - at least not in Mills' estimation, but he has missed many details, and we have the luxury of cherry picking the best and discarding the rest. Whole fractions like .25Ry or 6.8 eV could work in some circumstances, and HI in the presence of I2 it could end up being a two body reaction anyway. In a typical plasma, having many energy holes in close proximity would be statistically impossible, but iodine forms a dense purple vapor which is about 10,000 times denser than a typical plasma. Here is a picture. http://0.tqn.com/d/chemistry/1/0/I/0/1/iodine.jpg The basic idea for this concept, which is unique - since Mills himself has never mentioned photo-assisted ionization of iodine AFAIK - is to use the effect alone or in conjunction with other catalysts like nano-nickel in order to tap into Iodine's natural mass energy state. Notably it has but one stable isotope. Of course, in the context of the Higgs field, this M.O. (Higgs renormalization) would be advantageous in the event that there was some kind of a gateway at around the mass-energy of vaporized iodine, and of course if/when we can show for sure that the Higgs field is a subset (superset?) of the zero point field. In this version of Rydberg mediated hydrogen "shrinkage" (and absolutely contrary to Mills theory) there is NO permanently reduced ground state of hydrogen (f/H). Following UV emission on shrinkage, the zero point or Higgs/aether field immediately acts to reinflate the atom. No gammas, either :-) If there is indeed a Higgs field (aether, or zpe subset) which is relevant to 3-space when a gateway is present, and with a favored decay level at ~125 GeV, then that knowledge would define the easiest way to access the energy - via an element that would otherwise lose or gain mass at exactly this value. I am focusing on iodine here, but the gateway could also be tellurium or xenon, both of which have demonstrable energy anomalies in this mass-energy range. Iodine is favored for many reasons - not the least of which is its single isotope stability. Jones
