FWIW: Before pinning a medal on these guys, I want to present a contrary opinion.
There is no scoop here. Unless it is BS which is being scooped. The theory looks a lot like a mashup of W-L cold neutrons and Hagelstein’s neutron hopping, neither of which have a shread of physical evidence. The do not show neutron activation which needs to be shown for any such theory to work. They accept the flawed Lugano report as accurate and apparently do not have an accurate understanding of nuclear spallation. In short – this looks like a rather poor effort to me. From: Bob Cook It looks to me like Mats scooped all the other news outlets. Good work Mats. The paper is quite good and understandable. Neutron spallation and slow neutron transmutation stimulated by a an electric field gradient (maybe across a surface) at a certain resonance. Lots of parameters that can be engineered. Seems to fit Rossi’s conditions well.

This is what Rickard Lundin and Hans Lidgren, two top level Swedish scientists, claim, describing their theory in a paper called Nuclear Spallation and Neutron Capture Induced by Ponderomotive Wave Forcing ( <http://documents.irf.se/get_document.php?group=Administration&docid=1772> full length paper here) that will be presented on Friday, October 16, at the <http://workshop.wonderevents.fr/> 11th International Workshop on Anomalies in Hydrogen Loaded Metals, hosted by Airbus in Toulouse, France.
