From: Axil Axil 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. Not necessarily dead but maybe sick in one case. Because the muon lives a relatively long time, with a half-life of 2.2 microseconds, and is weakly interacting, muons will typically spread out in a sphere far removed from the reactor – a zone of washed out radiation which is in fact hundreds of meter in diameter, with decays interspersed in that sphere so as to be weak in at any one location. This might be more of a problem for Rossi - at what he claims is a megawatt of heat - than for Holmlid at subwatt, but possibly the radiation toxicity to Rossi can partly explain the bizarre behavior.
