Re: [Vo]:A question about Heavy and light Isotopes and LENR.

Hi Bob I think you are right about factors out side the nucleus being of great importance. I was wondering if the data from these transmutations and isotopic shifts could tell us something independent of any theory about the nucleus. For example if the observed data requires particular states

Re: [Vo]:A question about Heavy and light Isotopes and LENR.

Thanks very much Eric for the pointers to the other papers and for the link to your interesting paper too. I have a lot to catch up with it seems. I was wondering if the transmutations and isotopic evolutions could turn out to require certain states such as excitation or parity spin states or

Re: [Vo]:A question about Heavy and light Isotopes and LENR.

Your largely of course about Norman Cook having his own views about how to present the Nucleus, but I found the initial part of his book where he describes the relationship between various states and nucleus stability which is data based and independent of his ideas quite interesting. By

Re: [Vo]:A question about Heavy and light Isotopes and LENR.

Actually what you describe has already happened. Norman Cook himself is weighing in on a theory of LENR. However, I don't think it is that simple. Dr. Cook is well versed at what happens inside the nucleus, but the LENR phenomenon is bigger than that - it needs a condensed matter physicist also

Re: [Vo]:A question about Heavy and light Isotopes and LENR.

Eric I agree with what you said here completely. I think it could be well worth some one with an un biased mind looking through these transmutations and isotope evolutions to see what information it throws up. I guess for most of us find it very difficult to do though as I think we all have

>From what I've seen, there's transmutations all over the map. This is an area that is in need of systematization in the hands of someone careful who does not have a pet theory to advance, or who can do a rigorous job despite having a pet theory. This is the kind of topic for which it would be

Re: [Vo]:A question about Heavy and light Isotopes and LENR.

Thanks Jones Beene. I read Storms book about a year or so ago when I was still new to LENR. I should definitely take a look again now I have learnt a bit about the history and the developments from elsewhere too. Probably I could learn a lot more from reading it again now. Thanks for

RE: [Vo]:A question about Heavy and light Isotopes and LENR.

Yes, no, yes. This would be according to Storms' book, which devotes about 12 pages to transmutation. His coverage may not be completely correct but is there anything better? -Original Message- From: Stephen Cooke I have a couple of questions that maybe some here can answer. In the

[Vo]:A question about Heavy and light Isotopes and LENR.

I have a couple of questions that maybe some here can answer. In the LENR context: Are transmutations of elements and isotope evolutions for elements lighter and including Ni ever observed for heavier isotopes (I.e neutron rich isotopes)? Or only for those isotopes with fewer neutrons than
