To backtrack from a post 3 months ago. The Rabi frequencies. We did not know what to make of it, back then, except that there was a possible fit to one LENR experiment. The Rabi frequency (paraphrased from two sources) is the frequency of oscillation for a given atomic transition in a photonic light field. It is associated with the strength of the coupling between the photons and the transition - flopping between the levels of a 2-level system which is illuminated with resonant photons. The Rabi frequency has an interesting cross connection to Rydberg values, and to NMR.
In the context of a nuclear magnetic resonance experiment, the Rabi frequency is the nutation frequency of a sample's net nuclear magnetization vector about a radiofrequency field. (Note that this is distinct from the Larmor frequency, which characterizes the precession of a transverse nuclear magnetization about a static magnetic field.) OK - There is indeed one RF signal which appears to have a strong correlation to excess heating events, in one kind of LENR. This is from the recent paper at ICCF17 by Steven Jones. It is in the range of a Rabi frequency, but it is too early to say that there is a definitive relationship. The signal seen in that slide has a frequency of .43 MHz (430 kHz). This seems to be a real signature - and a strong one. I have looked high and low to find some broader significance to this particular frequency, but little turns up. It is "longwave" once used for Morse code and warning beacons, but not much used anymore. There is some relevance of 430 kHz to a Rabi frequency and to MRI, and a real connection to nuclear events - but linking all of these seems remote, given the wavelength - but it is there, and knowing why it is there could be important. Very strange... not unlike QM itself... _____________________________________________ From: Jones Beene Attn: spin doctors Hope this is not belaboring the point about the intrinsic magnetic connection that exists, and may in fact be causative - to a finding of gain in LENR systems. Consider one further major point in the context of Steven Jones' finding of an RF signature. Consider the field of NMR but in the context of RF. The importance of an RF signal in NMR is not RF alone, but than an intense single resonant frequency is seen, which is determined by the external field alignment of the nucleus. The stronger the field the more robust the signal OK backtracking to Steven Jones, and his slide showing an RF signal - we must realize that because of the strong self-field of hydrogen (deuterium) even the very weak magnetic field of earth is enough to see some signal but only with hydrogen or deuterium. See where this is heading? Connect the dots and we are looking at more than NMR, and more than LENR - it is NMR in the context of LENR, as perhaps the driving force. _____________________________________________ For the various Spin Doctors on Vortex - 2.3. Magnetic Stimulation After the cathode had been charged with deuterium for 48 hours at a current of 80 mA, the cell was placed in the field of a permanent magnet of 200 Gauss strength. The cell electrolyte temperature rose to 5 ° C (Fig.10.) after 230 seconds, After 576 seconds, the magnet was replaced by two, one inch Neodymium magnets with a 800 Gauss field placed as described earlier. The temperature immediately started increasing and reached 13.5 ° C in about 15 minutes and remained constant. The temperature returned to 3.5 ° C when the magnet was removed.
