Proposition: "However if there is muon decay at all - they should be seeing a signal at 511 keV."
Detection of radiation is not applicable to the LENR sensing application because LENR thermalize any radiation emitting in a wide zone around the LENR reaction. If this were not so, Holmlid and Rossi would be dead now.
