This story from Purdue is of interest for several
unexplained energy phenomenon, including LENR and the recent disclosure of
Ed Storms. That disclosure is suggestive a hidden kind of radiation which
accelerates nuclear decay rates.

ar-flares,-give-advance-warning.html
A known variety of radiation which can alter decay rates is
neutrinos, except for the huge problem that neutrinos should not be detected
or absorbed in anywhere close to the needed amount.
The undefined radiation is associated with solar flares but
precedes the flare. However, since neutrinos are always present in a massive
flux that is relatively independent of flares, but would not be absorbed in
anything like the proportions which are required to alter decay- does this
finding not specifically suggest a new kind of radiation which renders
neutrinos more active (absorbable)?
I think that it does suggest this or something similar, but
the University Researchers involved will not go that far. (as Mel Brooks
sez: we have to protect our phony baloney jobs).
To me, this finding suggests that the standard neutrino
flux, which is a given, can be modulated or altered somehow, so as to be
absorbed at many or orders of magnitude higher rates, when the mystery
radiation is present (compared to normal). That radiation can be produced in
LENR apparently, as well as in the solar corona. (note: the flare is a
corona feature, which is a bit different than a solar feature).
In short, this mystery radiation would operate like the A-B
effect - except with respect to the neutrino flux instead of with respect to
charged particles. It could even be called a neutrino Aharonov-Bohm effect.
QUOTE: Researchers have recorded data during 10 solar flares since 2006,
seeing the same pattern...."We have repeatedly seen a precursor signal
preceding a solar flare," Fischbach said. "We think this has predictive
value."
