Here is a slide showing of some their earlier work showing how crushing
granite
produces neutrons.
Some nice graphs which plot neutron counts against mechanical loading.

The crushing load is coincident with a momentary spike in

Steve Jones (BYU) did experiments looking for neutrons while Portland
cement made with heavy water set (dried). I think I recall they or
someone else tried crushing it,
By the way, Carpinteri (Cardone's colleague) was at ICCF15 and 16. Here

still grasping at straws, but in the end, there will be new physics – so why
not unburden oneself of the excess baggage?

Essentially they did do that.
When marble was crushed no spike in neutrons was seen. If it was just due to
vibrations in the detector then crushing marble would have produced a spike in
neutrons too.
Marble was the control? So I should have said when the block of granite
