The Proton Radius Problem and the Muon.


http://arstechnica.com/science/2016/08/researchers-orbit-a-muon-around-an-atom-confirm-physics-is-broken/

Very interesting article on Ars Technica with possible far-reaching
implications for LENR researchers.


These discrepancies from standard model predictions in nuclei
charge radii when muons orbit them fit in nicely with both the unexpected
muon anomalous magnetic moment and my theory of LENR involving electron
based spin waves as a source for the fifth force of nature.

The "muon anomalous magnetic moment" is caused by increased magnetic drag
from the increased magnetic influence of virtual particle creation around
the rotating muon.  Virtual particle induced magnetism
 produces a marked increase in precession in the muons magnetic moment more
than the standard model predicts. The Standard model based particle zoo
that the standard model would expect to be instantiated by vacuum particle
creation defines the magnetic effects of the vacuum on the  magnetic moment
of the muon. That is, there are more types of particles popping in and out
of the vacuum than the Standard model has discovered so far.

Researchers have just discovered a possible new force carrying
particle(boson) whose creation as a virtual particle in the vacuum would
explain why the muon is precessing so much more than the Standard Model
predicts.

The increase in the magnetic moment of the muon over what the standard
model expects would explain the reduced charge radius of the nuclei that
the muon orbits.

If this new magnetically charged boson causes increase precession in the
magnetic moment of the muon then symmetry would predict that electron
precession would generate this new boson and/or increase it power level.

There is much RF coming from LENR reactors so LENR is marked by lots of
electron precession which would produce lots of this new fifth force
carrying bosons.

The coupling constant of this new fifth force might cause the other forces
to converge to unification (the GUT theory of LENR) more readily than
the Standard Model now predicts and this increased force screening of the
strong and weak forces would produce all the effects that we now see in
LENR.

RE: [Vo]:Neuglu confirmed

[Jones Beene]

In answer to an offline question about testing or falsifying this 5th force 
hypothesis without the expense of heavy isotopes of palladium – one option 
comes to mind just now.

Remember the “bubble fusion” experiment of Rusi Taleyarkhan? He was vindicated 
in his use of the very heavy element Californium as an accelerant for fusion 
(it’s been a long time but his name is still in my spell-checker, along with 
bremsstrahlung :-)

Well – the heavier and more neutron rich the element used, the more likely it 
would be to have a surplus of neuglu bosons – at least as I understand it. 
Californium would not decay fast enough to help on its own in terms of 
anomalous energy – but it could supply a steady source of neuglu to fuse 
deuterons in other ways - which would then provide the thermal gain in many 
types of experiments including electrolysis and Arata-type.

In fact, Rusi used an amount so tiny it should not have mattered, expect to his 
jealous peers. Yet the Cf was beneficial – and the reason could and probably 
did relate to neuglu. Cf is not cheap or available however.

As Bob Cook implied from a recent IE article – there could be some of the same 
magic with U, a bit lighter … but if cost is important -  by far the most 
economical thing to do for a potential neuglu source is to cannibalize a few 
smoke detectors for the Americium. There are vids on YouTube to show you how to 
remove handle the stuff. 

But even in micrograms, this is risky business and I am not advocating it.

RE: [Vo]:Neuglu confirmed

[Jones Beene]

Another point to toss into the mix, CB --- the strong force operates at two 
distinct geometries, which could mean that it is essentially bifurcated and 
overlapping to begin with, such that one of the two can become the 5th force. 

 

On a size-scale of a few femtometers, the strong force binds protons and 
neutrons together. But on a smaller scale there is a different version or 
subset (carried by gluons) that holds quarks together. It is the second scale 
which may be related to neuglu. This force has been called the “color force”. 
Both categories of strong force can inherently produce new massive particles 
instead of gamma rays when disturbed. For instance the muon chain seen by 
Holmlid supplants gamma radiation when the color force is involved.

 

It is possible that neuglu is the merger of the color force combined with 
something “from” the weak force (meaning the W or Z).

The lattice vibrations you talk about (phonons) I believe are associated with

momentum.

To summarize a formative hypothesis of the modality of a 5th force boson 
(labeled "neuglu") as the necessary component of Pd-D fusion, here is a summary 
...

The neuglu boson would be attracted to down quarks and equally repelled by up 
quarks, so that it will have net binding force for neutrons but repel protons. 
Neutron - 1 up quark, 2 down quarks; Proton - 2 up quarks, 1 down quark. This 
property would indicate that neuglu is related to the W and Z bosons.

In the interstices of the palladium lattice which has absorbed deuterons to an 
active ratio near 1:1, a heavier (neutron rich) isotope such as Pd-110 would 
release the neuglu boson as a natural response to deuteron loading. This 
requires borrowed energy.

4He, as the ash of a depleted fusion reaction, would derive from a two-step 
process in which neuglu plays a vital role by creating an initial binding 
state. The final fusion reaction does not produce gamma radiation since most of 
the mass-deficit has been used up in advance (quantum borrowing) in the process 
of removing the neuglu from the host. Time reversed reactions are 
characteristic of quantum mechanics (retrocausality).

In the first stage with a loaded metal matrix, the neuglu boson begins the 
reaction by binding the two terminal neutrons of two separated deuterons. 
Following that initial binding, a second stage follows where the bound 
deuterons are further compressed into 4He. This can be due to fluctuations in 
the internal pressurization of the metal matrix caused by vibration and in 
particular - by anharmonic lattice oscillation. Since the neuglu is lost to the 
host metal, its mass energy is deducted in the final energy balance.

In terms of energy balance, this situation works out according to observation, 
since the mass deficit of helium following deuterium fusion would normally be 
24 MeV from which the mass-energy equivalent of neuglu is deducted, estimated 
to be about 17 MeV. The pressurization energy of the second stage, due to 
phonon anharmonic vibration, somewhat in the manner of Hagelstein's theory, 
would balance the books without a gamma, which is easier to justify in the 
depleted state.

The hypothesis is falsifiable via loading of deuterium in palladium which is 
enriched in the heavy isotope Pd-110 to be compared against a matrix which is 
depleted in 110. A simple Arata-style pressure experiment should be sufficient 
for confirmation of greater excess heat in the heavier enrichment. Eventually 
the heavier isotope may become depleted in neuglu - which would help to explain 
why there has been inconsistency in results.

This is not a confirmation. Wait for more independent tests. There might be
an error in the set up.

RE: [Vo]:Neuglu confirmed

[Jones Beene]

Another possibility. to clarify the possible relevance of neuglu in the LENR
system, for those who believe that real 4He is found in the ash is that
helium derives from a two-step process. The reaction does not produce gamma
radiation since the mass-deficit has actually been used up in the process of
removing (borrowing) the neuglu from the host.

 

In the first stage, which happens in the metal matrix, neuglu binds together
two neutrons of two separated deuterons, which are then further compressed
into 4He due to fluctuations in the internal pressurization of the metal
matrix. Since the neuglu is lost to the host metal (e.g. palladium) its mass
energy is deducted. 

 

This works out pretty well since the mass deficit of helium following
deuterium fusion is 24 MeV and the mass-energy equivalent for neuglu is
estimated to be about 15-17 MeV. This pressurization energy of the second
stage would balance the books without a gamma.

 

That complication is admittedly nothing more than a rationalization for now.
but it is quite elegant in its own way.

Light particle could be key to understanding dark matter in universe


When we discussed this discovery back in May on Vortex - following the initial

as "Neuglu" since it binds neutrons and repels protons, kind of like a 
quark-selective gluon; plus - there already was a claimant a fifth force 
designation, so this one needed a name.

Hamdi Ucar mentioned a paper which could add another level of understanding to 
a magnetically-mediated force which falls between the two stronger nuclear 
forces: "Derivation of strong and weak forces from magnetic interactions in 
quantum electrodynamics (QED)" by Barut (paywalled).

But the big deal for LENR, almost unmentioned by any other group at the time is 
that a putative fifth force (as characterized by neuglu), which acts only 
between neutrons -- would be able to bind 2 deuterons within in a metal matrix, 
and would bind at a distance *without nuclear fusion* into an agglomerations of 
predictable mass (4,6,8 etc) which mimics helium in the case of mass-4 (if the 
binding is strong enough) and provides plenty of excess energy on decay without 
gammas (like cold fusion) and does not work with protium. Thus neuglu can fully 
explain LENR for those who do not accept the claim that real 4He was seen in 
the prior testing of the ash of cold fusion.

The mass-energy of neuglu is about 10 million times greater than chemical 
energy. Thus, everything fits ... except an understanding of how to engineer a 
neuglu formative process, such as in electrolysis.

It is conceivable that a few neutron-rich isotopes naturally operate like tiny 
factories for neuglu. Candidate isotopes for producing the neuglu boson include 
Pd-110 and Ni-64. If this happens only in column 10 of the periodic table, 
where these isotopes have their outermost electrons only in d-orbitals with no 
p-orbital electrons, then platinum-198 would be another predicted isotope 
(speculation but testable) which would be a strong candidate for LENR (but 
because of high cost has not been singled out heretofore).

The best way to falsify or confirm this prediction, and also the validity of a 
neuglu modality - would be to obtain palladium which is enriched in 110 and

Bzzzt.No chance this explains our observed 4He production as our mass

there is that pesky 3He that shows up as well. Although the shrunken
