In the early days of cold fusion (early 1990s) there were dozens of
papers on a mysterious emission in the low keV range which happened
merely from loading H2 or D2 in either nickel or palladium - often with
no other input power. The testing was done using x-ray film, and the
positive result is a foggy film once known as an "autoradiograph".

Do you have a paper with a concrete measured energy of e.g 1keV, 2keV ??
We know that the formation of H*-H* releases 496eV and for D*-D* up two
2002keV But there are other higher energy level allowed too.

This is a light-weight piece for the namephreaks out there (we miss
you, Herb).
In a patho-sci mashup of LENR with Firesign Theatre ("beat the
reaper") it's about time to settle on a name for that "mystery
radiation" which so charms the alternative energy set. Is it toxic or
simply a popular experiment with old men?

In fact, Uranium decay was first discovered by Henri Becquerel using
the fogging of film as evidence. His cause of death was unspecified,
but he had developed a burn on his chest from a tiny amount of radium
carried in his vest pocket.
More recently, Holmlid has claimed the mystery radiation appears to be
largely muons - but that seems unlikely despite his continuing efforts
at identification. We need a better name which may help in getting a
better understanding - "nomen est numen" as they say. And don't forget
the toxicity issue - Holmlid has suffered from a malady which is
probably unrelated, but who knows?
A few of these names on the list refer to real phenomena which are
partially misunderstood... even if most are clearly influenced by an
overactive imagination. LENR has always been a mystery composed of
truth mixed with bogosity.
We can start the list with an obvious place-marker for the proposition
of deriving fact from fiction - but which is still not understood.
Funny how they all seem different but then bleed over into each other
on closer examination. Who will guess the true identity of symptom 7?
1) Neutrinos
2) Scalar waves, longitudinal waves
3) Magnetic monopoles
4) Tachyons, Hawking radiation
5) ZPE, vacuum energy, aether, EPO field
6) Dark energy or dark matter
7) Orgone, ormus, chi, superlight (magnetic light)
8) Plasmons, polaritons, magnons, spinons, holons, orbitons
9) Cold electricity, radiant energy
10) Negative inertial mass, Casimir force
And the winner is ?
... probably the reaper...
