I think that must be an excited state decay. But I don't know. For a ground state decay, that's very high. What's the mass defect? Sent from my iPhone On Aug 20, 2012, at 12:55 AM, Axil Axil janap...@gmail.com wrote: I sited this link in my poat, you must have missed it.

Let's say you've got a xenon atom. It likes to absorb energy and emit photons. You know, xenon lamps etc. OK, so lets ask a real simple question: When a tube filled with xenon gas has some energy pumped into it and the electrons go to higher orbitals -- yes this happens for a very short period

What I don’t understand is if this is possible: 1 - 4He + 4He → 8Be(-93.7kEV) 2 - Be8 - 2He4(18.074 MeV) If this reaction is possible, and if this is what recombination is, where does the 18 MeV come from. Axil On Sun, Aug 19, 2012 at 3:31 PM, Axil Axil janap...@gmail.com wrote: When the

James, I am assuming that your question is motivated by the controveral Papp claims. While I have not had time to do more than peruse the following speculative papers, perhaps they are relevant, but I am not sure they are correct. Ion trapping and sonoluminescence ABSTRACT: Sonoluminescence is

I think the Be-8 ground state decay to 2 He-4 is at about the 93 KeV figure. Not the higher figure. Where did you get 18 MeV? My understanding is that 4D - Be-8 + about 47.6 MeV, which is initially as a nuclear excited state. Some of that may be emitted as a series of photons. If the Be-8
