Thank you very much for this link Bob. It looks like an interesting paper.
It looks like the phenomena on the surface of magnetars is a hot topic this year. I wonder if this can be an effective data source for and analogue for conditions present in LENR? At the very least they should give some insight about the magnetic nature of physical processes involved in particle decays and interactions that may be applicable even in lower magnetic fields. Perhaps the local magnetic field in a nucleus at fm distances has impacts on nucleon stability and decay rates either directly or through resonance phenomena, perhaps at quark level. If so it would be interesting to know if there can still be significant influence say at a few hundred fm if the magnetic moment and available energy states are high. I wonder if their are any other interesting observational indicators on Magnetars it would be interesting maybe to see if the spectra can reveal the isotope ratios of elements. I suppose this might be easily possible for lighter elements and maybe due to the magnetic field from fine structure characteristics of the spectra. UV and X-Ray spectra could also be interesting especially if they can reveal something about the excitation state of the electrons in the atoms and the nucleus excitation states, as well as more macroscopic X-ray and RF radiation effects due to the plasma effects. Even though it's very different place and overall conditions than a LENR device, perhaps there are a lot of LENR physics analogues at macro scale that are applicable to LENR on micro scale that can be observed there. > On 07 Sep 2016, at 06:33, Bob Cook <[email protected]> wrote: > > Another free document regarding much of the same theory and data regarding > reactions in high magnetic fields can be found here: > > http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1603.01898 > > Note the importance of spin energy and the energy released by neutrinos; also > the significant data regarding reaction parameters for mid-mass nuclei. > > This adds to the idea of the large magnetic fields created locally by SPP’s > on metal surfaces or lattice cavities. > > Bob Cook > > > > Sent from Mail for Windows 10 > > From: Stephen Cooke > Sent: Tuesday, September 6, 2016 8:10 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [Vo]:Co59 Beta decay rates on Magnetar surface > > Hi Eric > > You might be right and if so it will be interesting.
