This experimenter found not much alpha decay help from high powered lasers alone. Sorry, the screening comes from polariton production by laser stimuli of nano-particles. Read about it here http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CDYQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phy-astr.gsu.edu%2Fstockman%2Fdata%2FStockman_Phys_Today_2011_Physics_behind_Applications.pdf&ei=eF2DUf7KFcri4AOVq4CIDA&usg=AFQjCNHdcmFaRe9tfcLMzk1V8uwPQ8OvXA&sig2=J5nT-S9WrJdOT6_8uZyOVQ Chemists build their own custom sub-atomic particles that do what they want. Protons, neutrons and electrons are so passé. On Fri, May 3, 2013 at 2:29 AM, Joseph S.
