Note that Holmlid is reporting particles with ">10 MeV/u", or 10 MeV per atomic unit. This is a measure of velocity. Holmlid measured particles that traversed 0.64 meters in 13 ns. This corresponds to a velocity of 4.9E7 m/c or 0.16c.
This is NOT a measured ENERGY. If he also measured the energy, then he could have solved for the particle mass and would have had a much easier time identifying the particle. IF - you PRESUME that the particle is a muon, then the energy of the muon would have been 1.4 MeV. In Holmlid's papers, I don't see where the measured beta-decay-causing-particles he measured in his scintillator (that he concluded were muons), were correlated to the particles that he measured as having a transit time of 13ns. I think Holmlid's LEAP was that the particles measured in his muon detection setup were the same as the particles he measured with the 13ns transit delay. He admitted that there were lots of particles and he tried experimentally to sort them out. Suppose there were just a few muons... What if, instead, the particles detected in his scintillator were particles uncorrelated to the 13ns transit, for example, low velocity (thermal) neutrons. These could also produce a beta signature in his scintillator, but the velocity would not correlate to the measured 13ns particles.
