Hi Robin

Not exactly - "decay" was meant to encompass more than standard free neutrons. 
In fact, the premise of the thread is that there is more than one species of 
similar particle being labeled as a neutron in various experiments. (providing 
the answer to the variable lifetime paradox)

For instance, UDH or a correlate would be considered to be a pseudo-neutron 
which is slightly less massive. This species could decay with a small 
radioactive signature which is often missed.

There are several different descriptions of dense hydrogen in the literature - 
but in a state of maximum "shrinkage", with an electron at femtometer offset, 
you have a particle which is neutral and nonreactive, possibly spin zero and 
similar to the standard neutron except sterile.

Never mind that the proponents - Mills, Holmlid etc. do not suggest "decay" as 
relevant ... clearly this is new territory.
