From: Stephen Cooke * If the two nuclei are separated by 2.3 pm I suppose the are rotating about their center of mass… Would those nuclei generate Bremsstrahlung radiation…
Not the b-word, as usually defined; but if the pair, or the cluster, became destabilized, the result could be strong mutual repulsion. Once hot scattered protons interact with the support or containment structure, we would see soft x-rays and UV. If an electron cascade is absent, it should not be confused with bremsstrahlung…. A possible way to test for the Holmlid effect is UV radiation. However, UV is hard to detect since there is no good “window” (material transparent to UV). Mills uses a pinhole technique. There are other methods which could work, depending on circumstances. One is Ultraviolet Fluorescence, which is well studied. In the right design UVF could actually provide positive feedback to the reaction.
