As mentioned to Bob the muons are not slow – they are fast in Holmlid’s theory. However, this should be confirmed by him, as I am also basing some of my understanding on Stubbs, along with all of Holmlid’s papers, which have evolved over the years.
If we follow the Stubbs model of nine equivalent muons per disintegration, most of which are effectively serving as “gluons” until the event – and typically only 3-4 actual muons are seen per disintegration, then there is available about 500 MeV of acceleration energy imparted to the ones which do escape – say 125 MeV added onto the rest mass of 105 MeV. Cosmic muons are typically 2 GeV. I can see that most observers –even here - do not appreciate how radical Holmlid’s work really is. Fortunately, he is very careful with data and massive numbers are detected. I should also add that Holmlid definitely does propose that nuclear fusion also occurs at the same time, so it is not either/or. If there is excess heat in the reactor, it comes from fusion of UDD, and not from nucleon disintegration of UDD. Both reactions are happening and they could be linked in some way. Bottom line is this: Holmlid has found a source of potential energy which is far more energetic than mere fusion… if only it could be collected. As of now, it can’t be collected and never has been. From: Bob Cook I agree with Higgins-- “The penetration is directly related to the energy of the muon.” If the muons that are produced in the reactor are slow muons they may not get out in any case before decaying. All they do is act to catalyze other nuclear reactions before decay. Bob Cook
