Alan,
I am disappointed that Mats' summer party has been more or less cancelled.
The reason for my disappointment is that you have made half a promise to demonstrate a glow discharge tube with a runaway Geiger counter at the symposium. A good cure for my (or perhaps our collective) disappointment would be if you could arrange an online demo instead. 
I wonder who these others working on LENR technologies are?
"The main reason is that several people, including some of those who are working with the development of LENR based technologies which is the main focus of the symposium, have asked me to wait until there’s a product in the market"
Sorry to hear. i know Mats put a lot of work into organizing, and surely he is disappointed. Same goes for Alan, who had some exciting things lined up to be presented.

Well, there will be online videos and much sharing, but no livestreams, a term I consider to be oxymoronic. I think we will be able to invite a few small groups of visitors to be anomalously irradiated 'up close and personal' at the Funny Farm though.

That will make H-G happy.
My spider-senses tell me you’re not that far away from E5 , Alan...

Not nearly far enough.

Alan, what do you think about my proposed test setup Rev 0?
Actually, most of it I borrowed from the www and then I adapted it for Meshugganon production based on your earlier description.
If the Geiger counter behaves as you said there are two possibilities. Either it detects ionizing radiation or it is subject to some kind of electric interference.
But why should an interference increase with increased shield thickness? Can't see any reason for this, so it must be ionizing radiation.
This discovery will easily make its way into the headlines of the most reputed scientific publications.

Cosmic Ray Interactions in Shielding Materials
Muons produce increasing neutron flux as dense shielding(lead, iron) thickness is increased.
Alan's experiment is producing muons.
Muons interact weakly with matter. As the density of matter increases, the probability of muon nuclear interaction increases up to a point then muon flux decreases. The neutrons are a product of muon catalyzed fission.
See page 15 of reference for plot.
Alan can apply his cloud chamber and see the muon tracks. From these tracks, their energy can be determined.

How to build a muon dtector.
Place a sample of Magnesium fluoride in a light proof package in direct contact with unexposed photographic film and place it on Alan's experiment. Any light that exposes the film is produced by muons.
Here is a graph showing the stopping power for muons in copper as a function of their kinetic energy (from Groom et al. Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables, Vol. 76, No. 2, July 2001). Assuming the muons are produced from ultra-dense hydrogen/deuterium, their kinetic energy would fall very close to the minimum of this stopping power curve, known as the Bethe-Bloch curve. The larger the thickness of any "shielding" copper or lead, the higher the number of muons stopped, the higher the counts of a Geiger counter. Until the thickness is large enough to stop all muons, which is in the order of half a meter for copper, and about 20% less for lead. Not convenient you would admit except if you work at CERN.
A cloud chamber is great to detect a few muons. However, as soon as the muon flux becomes large, condensation around the gaseous muon trails will not occur and no trace will be observed anymore. Therefore, the best place for a cloud chamber would be several tens of meter far from the reaction chamber in order to have a muon flux in the same range, but still larger than, the atmospheric one.
Alan can apply his cloud chamber and see the muon tracks. From these tracks, their energy can be determined.
DIY cloud chamber:
Cool!
Low budget cloud chamber, still working:
Of course, the "compressed air" can does not contain liquid air: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_duster
When held upside down liquid instead of gas is ejected. The fast evaporation of the liquid lowers the temperature.
If you don't want to turn the can upside down you may use freeze spray instead: https://www.globalpc.co.nz/Ele…pecification-AE03000.aspx
Those products could be combined into one if you added the upside down text FREEZE SPRAY on the air duster.

1. A metal vessel filled up with a hydrogen gas at a pressure depending on the desired neutron CPS;
2. Electronic means for the remote control of the gap between a pair of tungsten electrodes located inside said metal vessel; and
3. A specially designed power unit delivering high voltage and high current rapid DC discharges in between said electrodes.
As shown in Figure 5, the DC arc ionizes the hydrogen atoms, thus creating a plasma of protons and electrons; the DC arc then aligns the proton and the electron along a magnetic field line with the appropriate spin and other couplings; an engineering means called triggers compress the electron inside the proton, by supplying the missing energy (which is about one million electron Volts, 1 MeV).
Sometimes a theorist can save an experimenter a lot of work by avoiding duplicating existing technology.
Santilli thinks that neutrons can be formed out of a union of protons and neutrons. This is nonsense. What Santilli is producing are muons. the same particle that Alan is generating. The US government is using cosmic ray generated muons to detect nuclear material in shipping containers now.
Muon Thomography are well known as a means to detect nuclear material
Innovations In Nuclear Detection: Muon Tomography
Here is another experiment with glow discharge, 16 years ago by Karabut:
http://pages.csam.montclair.edu/~kowalski/cf/337glow.html
"Their glow discharge apparatus is also said to produce nuclear effect -- emission of high energy electrons (0.8 MeV) and of yet to be identified heavier projectiles, perhaps protons, neutrons or alpha particles."
