* Holmlid states that muons are detected even when stimulated by the
fluorescent lights from his lab excites the catalyst. No muons are produced in
the dark.
Are you implying that a deep mine is usually dark so the test of Mauro’s
hypothesis would not work in a mine?
The original suggestion assumes that a mobile “standardized Holmlid experiment”
will be driven by a laser. If you have laser light available, anything else,
like a fluorescent, is superfluous.
Heck if helps, one can also take a fluorescent down there too :-)
---------------------
Perhaps neutrinos are indeed captured in very dense Rydberg matter (which is
essentially metallic hydrogen). I think the hypothesis could be tested this
way. First arrange a standardized Holmlid experiment with dense hydrogen but
make it mobile - then transport the same experiment to deep mine underground,
then as a third test, transport the same experiment to a nuclear reactor
facility and run it as close to the reactor as is safe.
If the hypothesis of neutrino capture is sound, the muon rate will go down in
the deep mine, since the neutrino flux is less, and it will go up near the
nuclear reactor, compared to the normal results, since the flux is much higher
there.
