But apparently the Kitamura work only found a small effect, unlike
the much larger effect that Arata reported.
Kitamura used only a small sample. That is to say, he took a large
sample and divided it into 6 small samples, for reasons I explained
here previously. He hopes to try a single large sample soon. (He may
already be doing that.) If you compare the strength of the reaction
to the mass of material, I believe it is comparable to Arata's results.
I really need to get a copy of the Kitamura paper. Is it, or a
prepublication version, available?
If it's comparable to Arata's results, that leads to some
possibilities. I understand the Kitamura material should be available.
