Axils and LFH Sam posts above about neutral particles have got me wondering about about both neutral Meson and more complex heavy neutral particle detection. I wonder how those neutral particles would be detected.
If we have neutral mesons I suppose those would eventually go to muons, electrons, positrons or gamma, so maybe beta/gamma detectors at different distances with shields for blocking charged particles in between may help identify them.
If we have larger more complex neutral particles such as maybe bits of Holmlids and H(0) or D(0) (I suppose they are small enough to leak through most materials) or these "Messhugahnouts" being ejected could these be detected with neutron detectors or is some other method required? I wonder if Sveinn Ólafsson can help us with some suggestions there.
I think Sveinn has suggested before that LENR replicators should maybe look for muons, but I'm not sure if he has recommended looking for heavier mass neutral particles although I think I recall they did detect them.
Would those larger particles look like neutrons to other nuclei with high cross sections for neutron capture such as Boron 10 but produce other daughter products than expected I wonder? Or would they instead be stimulated to collapse or disintegrate into to some other form maybe back to H(1) or D(1) or normal H2 gas? I rather like the last option.
If heavy neutral particles exist, I wonder if the E-Cats are in water if that water somehow captures or transforms or disintegrates all these heavy neutral particles in those devices. Can HRM persist in water, or in an oxygenated environment? Even if they are not destroyed by water, it might actually be useful if they are stable and can be captured and stored, and later released and collected by evaporation of the water. I wonder what they could be used for apart from LENR. My apologies if that last bit is a bit speculative and bad Science.
Would it make sense to have a new thread to discuss neutral particle detection?
