Why don’t you do this yourself. Most experimentalists have their own ‘to do
lists’ and don’t have the valuable time and money to dedicate work on other
people’s ideas. As Thomas Edison once said/paraphrased of the countless jaybird
comments, ‘get out of here, the only rule here is that we’re trying to
accomplish something.’
A $100 Muon detector might only cost that it parts but the cost of the time and
effort and resources necessary to build, refine, understand how to operate, and
operate under real experimental conditions is a vastly larger sum. And don’t
forget there is the diversion of effort from tasks already planned and at hand.
I am certain that if you offered MFMP $10,000 -$20,000 of up front funding
they might be delighted to give it a try. Any suggestions of this sort that
come without an offer to provide the vital ‘grease’ are worth precisely the
value of the electrons sent gallivanting about to make the suggestion here on
the net.

* I have been trying to get any replicator or cold fusion experiments to
test for muon during the last six months. I have concentrated this best effort
of persuasion on MFMP, but they are highly resistant to the idea. I do not
understand why.
Possibly in the past, it was cost. But recently, the $100 muon detector story
has gotten a lot of traction.

Unfortunately, it is not quite as simple as shelling out a hundred bucks, but
surely this lowers the bar and will open up the opportunities for detection.
