Has Holmlid enlisted outside help in characterizing these charged and neutral radiations in this latest paper? I've been hoping he would do so for years. To summarize what has instead been reported in papers leading up to this one: an alleged muon, pion and kaon radiation field, inferred from

Keep in mind as well that Holmlid adduces not only muons, but kaons and pions as well. Once we introduce (negative) kaons, we have the following decays to deal with: [image: Inline image 1] The neutral pion assures us that there will either be penetrating gammas or positrons, which lead to 511
