Peter and others-- >From your blog notes and with respect to Bo Hoistadt's comments I have the >following observations:
Be-8 decay to 2 alphas, as is commonly observed, involves excess kinetic energy of the alphas equivalent to the loss of mass in the decay. In the E-Cat reaction, if Be-8 is formed and decays to 2 alphas, the decay happens without the mass showing up as kinetic energy of the alphas. Another possibility is that the mass shows up as spin energy of the alphas and is lost to the rest of a coherent system via spin coupling with many small quanta being distributed through the coherent system. Of course this is a coupling that may have been engineered by Rossi (maybe with the application of magnetic fields) and is not apparent in previous observations of Be-8 decay. This could explain Bo Hoistadt's question regarding the lack of EM radiation from energetic alpha particles traversing matter. There are no energetic alphas in the E-Cat. SPP entities may provide the spin coupling required, and/or the orbital spin of the system's electrons may also provide coupling to the alphas, which may only exist as transient particles with high spin energy states. This entire question highlights the desirability of monitoring for He as an ash from the E-Cat reaction.
