Stephen, thank you for the answer. It appears relativistic velocities like the muon are not as common as I imagined but even these lesser velocities you mention would accumulate into time dilation like the protracted decay of the muon just on a smaller scale. Normally this dilation is int

What is relativistic velocity of earth to micro and nanoscopic material in space? I don't recall the earths orbital velocity but know M&M were counting on it in their experiment and then there are also numerous other frames of motion (the solar system through deep spac etc..) Wouldn't we expect mo

[Vo]:Underground neutron counting

2010-02-07 Thread Horace Heffner
Underground work is practically a standard for use of energy discriminating neutron counters, due to the very low neutron flux from CF experiments. This low flux is why integrating plastic counters are useful. The following were taken from Dieter Britz's abstracts: Zhu R, Wang X, Lu F,

Two things to consider: (1) reversing the current *does* "dissolve" the Pd surface, and (2) previous work has shown that helium production takes place near but below the surface (order of microns), while tritium production tends to take place on or very close to the surface (within a few at
