“New evidence for small drops of quark-gluon plasma?” https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/09/170918093032.htm
Date: September 18, 2017 Source: Brookhaven National Laboratory Summary: Particles emerging from even the lowest energy collisions of deuterons with heavy nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider exhibit the formation of a soup of quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks of visible matter. ------------------------ First, the deuterons are called “lowest energy” but are still relativistic and very fast – but the fact that they see these results at all (as does Holmlid) at the lowest input they have could be indicative of a “back-door” route to thermal gain, not involving fusion and 50-100 times more energetic than fusing deuterons to helium. The point being that the annihilation of hydrogen is more easily achievable than realized. Possibly the annihilation event is achieved with a laser and dense hydrogen in a two-step process. This is the most important message and meaning of Holmlid’s oeuvre. OTOH, this is also the time when Labs are looking for the last bit of stray funding…
