You may have hit on an important point, Stephen. The hydrogen nucleus (any nucleus) contains antimatter/matter pairs, according to the standard model.
If we take this literally – then the disintegration event could start simply with finding an irradiation window where these pairs are forced to annihilate, triggering secondary reactions ? Above my pay grade but I do remember the laser used was said to be 100 milliwatt, frequency doubled green YAG – and these common produce 532 nm (green, visible), 355 nm and sometimes 266 nm (UV) harmonics. To stimulate a 2.3 pm target with 532 nm light makes it seem all the more unlikely, but it is the “cluster” which is stimulated, not the individual nucleon. I am hoping the Mark Jurich will fill us in on the Q&A from SJS yesterday. From: Stephen Cooke Yup it's certainly astonishing if true. If a Nucleon is disintegrating this way, I wonder how it still can meet conservation rules. In order to form pions it implies quark anti quark pairs with combinations of up and down quarks are formed from a nucleon. In effect the equivalent quarks for a anti nucleon need to be produced. If they interact with another nucleon I suppose they may change transfer energy to that nucleon and change the nucleon type and conserve spin etc somehow to maintain conservation states otherwise I suppose the conservation might be taken up by the kind of produced lepton and neutrinos produced. I'm curious how it can work I suppose we will need to wait to see the of their theory.

Is this what they are actually saying? Did they really observe such huge amounts of energy? Yes precisely. This is why it will be more controversial than cold fusion until replicated. Many observers were left in a state of amazement, but … all of this was in the prior papers. We talked about it here earlier. Sometimes you just have to hear it directly from a credible person instead of seeing it in a paper. Ólafsson is a tall, handsome Nordic fellow - not as charismatic as McKubre, but some of that comes with age. He is very believable. Ø Ø 900 MeV is close to the rest mass of a neutron (939 MeV) and proton (938 MeV), Half the mass of the Deutron Nucleus! Yes – it is the entire mass of a nucleon which is being converted into energy. I should not have rounded this off. Much of that energy will be lost to neutrinos but there will be gammas. Ø Ø When they 900 MeV is released I see 3 possible meanings for this: 1) Did they imply total disintegration of one of the nucleons to Pions to Muons to electrons and neutrinos and gamma? Yes. They see mesons first, then pions, then muons and finally electrons. They have a detector. I think the skepticism from other Physicists will focus on the detector. Ideally other detectors should be used as well. I hope the slides will be published soon as this would require a lone time to try to explain, otherwise. 2) If so could it be the just the Neutron or Proton or either one that can disintegrate? Either one or both together. Ø Ø Which ever the case its astonishing amount of energy to release in one reaction almost up there with matter antimatter annihilation. If they can confirm this finding using a neutrino detector – that would go a long way. I walked away from this with the feeling that a new door is opening in the world of alternative energy. They may not have it completely right, but this could represent the final hurdle in the process started in 1989 (or earlier). It is too bad for mainstream physics that most of them have they missed the boat on this. If Holmlid is accurate, it makes the billions spent on the LHC and the Higgs closer to self-promoting fraud than to the efficient advancement of science. Unlike the situation in 1989, it will be much harder to erect obstacles. Let us hope that this is not a Pandora’s box which is opening.
