Hi, On 22passi, Danielle Paserini publish a paper from INFN/Lecce/StMicro<http://www.22passi.it/coherence2012/Nuclear_transmutation_in_Pd_thin_films.pdf>about changes (transmutation, craters...) in thin films of PdD/PdH, with laser excitation...
This paper was inside the JCMNS volume5 by JP Biberian, and you quoted it here too, but I don't remind (maybe I did not catch it)... What is your opinion on it... It remind me Iwamura. NB: I've posted my small summary/extract on lenr-forum.com<http://www.lenr-forum.com/showthread.php?907-INFN-Lecce-STMicro-Pd-H2-amp-Pd-D2-thin-films-processed-by-He-Ne-laser>... Critics welcome about my position... Drew just found a paper<http://www.22passi.it/coherence2012/Nuclear_transmutation_in_Pd_thin_films.pdf>cited by 22passi where INFN/Uni Lecce and Dr Mastromatteo from ST > Microelectronics. > It was presented at > Coherence2012<http://www.lenr-forum.com/showthread.php?p=3357#post3357> > . > It was also in the volume 5 of the journal of condensed matter nuclear > science (J-P Biberian) in > 2011<http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/BiberianJPjcondensedd.pdf#page=7> > . > > this paper is really interesting. > First it is using microelectronics-style technology, ion implant, thin > films... far from electrolysis or powder/film cooking. the Laser excitation > is interesting...
