Does the conditions below are similar to quarkx?
Don Borghi’s experiment is reviewed in detail in volume [2b] (see in particular L. Daddi
[2c] and P. Giubbilini [2d]). We here merely recall that the experiment was conducted
via a cylindrical metallic chamber (called ”klystron”) filled up with a partially ionized
hydrogen gas at a fraction of 1bar pressure, traversed by an electric arc with about 500V
and 10mA as well as by microwaves with 1010s
−1
frequency. In the cylindrical exterior of
the chamber the experimentalists placed various materials suitable to become radioactive
when subjected to a neutron flux (such as gold, silver and others). Following exposures of
the order of weeks, the experimentalists reported nuclear transmutations due to a claimed
neutron flux of the order of 104
cps, apparently confirmed by beta emissions not present in
the original material.

there is also R.Mills connection (hydrino = arcogen?)
First interpretation: this possibility is along Rutherford’s historical legacy (1), namely,
that the ”entities” produced by the electric arc, rather than being neutrons, are a new
bound state of protons and electrons at short distances. In fact, the entity depicted in Fig.
2 is a Boson with spin 0 here tentatively called arcogen in the Greek meaning of being
”arc generated”), while the neutron as notoriously spin 1
2
. Hence, the arcogen rest energy
is expected to be the sum of the rest energies of proton and electron (938.78MeV ) less
a large Coulomb binding energy, thus being considerable smaller than the neutron rest
energy (939.56MeV ).
This alternative is due to the possibilities that: i) ordinary stable nuclei absorb the arcogens;
ii) said nuclei, rather than the arc, synthesize neutrons according to the standard
model, i.e., reaction (2); and iii) ordinary neutrons are then released by the nuclei as part of
their radioactive process. In this case counter PM1703GN does indeed detects neutrons,
but they are of nuclear origin, rather than synthesized by the electric arc.
In fact, Don Borghi was rather cautious in calling ”neutrons” the entities produced by his
klystron [2a]. The same caution has been voiced by Daddi [2c] and others [2b]. Also. it
should be noted that new bound states of protons and electrons below the Bohr’s ground
state of the hydrogen have been predicted by various authors (see, e.g., Mills [2e]) and
appear to be necessary in any case for a serious interpretation of the Sun spectral emission.
