Hi,
[snip]
off. But then, wouldn't we expect some really hot alphas?
How do you know that there are no really hot alphas? Even really
hot ones only
have a travel distance of microns in solids and liquids. Hence the
need to use
detectors such as CR-39. I think that much of the lore regarding
the absence of
alphas comes from the early days of CF research before CR-39 etc.
was employed.
We *know* there are hot alphas. They show up in CR-39. There are
just not enough to explain excess heat. They also do little to
explain heavy transmutation LENR, which can happen even on a
chemically detectable level.
