From: Bob Higgins * Jones, I would like to hear your arguments of evidence that the muons CAME from the proton.
Bob, The CERN report is certainly aware of the implications of pair formation. Good evidence comes from that - and the next best comes as implications from Holmlid’s papers. I am assuming, based on prior reports from the LHC that they understand by position (relative to the impact zone) whether a particle derives from pair formation or not – since there is a time delay for pairs. CERN apparently considers these muons to be derived from the collision as primary debris, based on their report. I picked up on that story in support of Stubb’s papers, but I do not necessarily agree that he is correct. I only stumbled on his site a couple of days ago, and am trying to gauge the informed objections to it (such as your own). However, if Holmlid is correct, then Stubbs muon theory goes a long way to explain those amazing results. They are extremely important results - for LENR, perhaps the most important for theoretical understanding in the 25+ year history of the field. Holmlid is getting a lot of attention in the science press, most of it negative. I have a feeling that one or more groups (especially someone at SLAC) will endeavor to replicate his experiment. If they should find the anything similar, then the focus of the field will probably shift (pun intended). That is, the focus will shift to laser input (or at least semi-coherent light). I know you are familiar with the Letts/Cravens effect. I think those gentlemen opened the door for this and I hope they go back and take full advantage of that earlier effort. Jones
