Basically, one can suggest that there two or more similar species of neutral particle with a mass near one amu. Without attempting to take a stab at answering the related problems of that viewpoint in full, let me say it raises an issue that has been in back of my mind for some time wrt the isotope of oxygen 18-O and its surprising abundance, given that 16O is "so perfect" in many ways from the nuclear isotope perspective. BTW - 18O may be an unappreciated reactant in LENR, especially Mizuno-type glow discharges, and/or other HV regimes - depending on the source of the heavy water. This 18 amu isotope of oxygen is 15 times more common in water molecules than is deuterium, for instance, and its abundance in "cool environments" could be an anomaly in itself, considering the remarkable nuclear stability of 16O and the difference in the stellar ratio, compared to earth - that too is an anomaly. In seawater, there are 5 atoms of 18-O per 1000 atoms of 16-O which is half a percent. The ratio can be much higher in "fossil ice" given a slight difference in boiling point. In fact, it has been said that if you buy heavy water from an unreliable sources (let's say from Asia) then it may indeed have an atomic mass of 20 but contain almost no Deuterium ! Guglinski’s basic model of neutron n= p+e is far from new except perhaps for the ‘helical trajectory,’ as there are similar models from others. In another post today, it was suggested that we start a compilation of the various viewpoints on this. If we bifurcate the issue into the proposition that there are at least "two basic varieties" of neutral 1-amu particle - essentially one type that only resides within the nucleus, and the other which can reside comfortably just outside the geometrical limits of the nucleus, then it may be easier to get a handle on a number of issues. One of which is the reason for this post - as it relates to the conversion of normal water vapor in the upper atmosphere, directly into 18-O via high energy photon or cosmic ray. That would be a possible mechanism for the surprising abundance of 18O in Earth's oceans. BTW the electron antineutrino, when adsorbed or shed, may effectively convert one variety of "neutron" into the other (if the hypothesis of two or more is correct). Anyway, more on this after the Holidays. Jones
