Jones— You’re right..
However, the dark particle is a neutral muon made up of 17 electron-positron pairs. The experiments should have good coincident gamma detection and be fast enough to detect all 17 nihilations. The gammas would be back-to-back along 17 separate lines, maybe one line at a time as the muon decays—maybe 4 lines at a time. A cloud chamber may be the best detector for all 17 events,. occurring in quick succession. Maybe CERN could add some useful advice on monitoring the suggested experiments.

Most of the effects have “excess heat” as the major output component of interest, and some of them produce high energy radiation. Typically, the expected levels of high energy radiation are absent. This has led to doubts by mainstream physics that significant nuclear fusion is happening. An attempt will be made here to link several of these effects together via the modality of the newly discovered X gauge boson - and the beryllium anomaly of Krasznahorkay, This anomaly could be huge breakthrough for LENR since it tells us where high energy radiation should be found, and what to look for and it explains why it wasn't seen before. The Hungarian group reported a 6.8 sigma anomaly in the Be8 nuclear transition, now replicated. The radiation is explained by a ~17 MeV vector gauge boson produced in the decay of Be8. The particle is relatively inert, short lived and “dark” and would not be found by normal detection means. This dark feature of the new particle makes it a candidate for LENR especially in situations where beryllium-8 would be expected to be found. Normally however, Beryllium would not be expected to be found in D+D reactions. Yet it could be hiding in plain sight, thanks to updating an older theory from Akito Takahashi, called TSC, which posits the simultaneous reaction of 4 deuterons (as a BEC tetrahedron). The theory makes far more sense with dense deuterium as the reactant. The following is a listing of some of the major “effects” of LENR, which is a bit subjective, since it is focused on a progression of salient features which could lead to commercialization via coherent light input. The P&F Effect as explained by Takahashi The first cold fusion effect from 1989 – made famous by Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann employs deuterium loaded into a palladium matrix (cathode) with DC electrolysis as the power input, and with heavy water and a lithium electrolyte as notable features. Helium is seen as an output but not the expected gamma radiation. Using the Takahashi explanation, the fusion of 4 deuterons in a Pd matrix first produces beryllium-8 as an intermediate step. This is the Tetrahedral Symmetric Condensation (TSC) theory which now can be proved - by looking specifically for X boson decay. The Mills Effect This is an non-nuclear “densification” effect based on hydrogen with nickel matrix (and other catalysts including palladium), with UV radiation in addition to excess heat as distinctive outputs. Notably, in Mills' theory hydrogen is claimed to enter into a denser state he calls a redundant ground state, with its electron in a stable orbital closer to the nucleus. Others have hypothesized some version of dense hydrogen or deuterium as a preliminary stage leading to thermal gain but Mills was first. He avoids the fusion pathway (presumably due to IP concerns), In a hybrid theroy, the densification of deuterium as a first step would assist the TSC mechanism, resulting in the needed Be8 metastable ion. The Letts-Cravens Laser Effect This is a thermal boosting effect using IR coherent irradiation on a deuterium loaded metal in a weak magnetic field. The effect was observed when two lasers were tuned to produce a beat frequency near 8 THz, 15 THz and 20 THz. The importance of this experiment is found more in how it suggests a magnetic coupling to photons. Unfortunately, a good quality replication attempt (Guffey) showed a null result and it is possible that the problem is achieving the beat frequency at low power. The Holmlid Effect This is a two-step effect of laser irradiation of “ultra-dense” hydrogen producing a mystery radiation claimed to be subatomic mesons > kaons> muons. In other papers, Holmlid documents positron/electron pair production, at some distance away from the reactor - which is exactly what is expected from Krasznahorkay's new particle. The is an imaginary cone extending outward from the reaction zone where the X particle decay can be seen. “Electron-Positron Pair Production observed from Laser-induced processes in Ultra-dense Deuterium” is a Holmlid paper from 2014 which may be most consistent with the X boson results. There are certainly points of controversy with Holmlid's claims and some problems may be rectified by the substitution of the X particle for the meson-to-muon chain. Holmlid may not adequately measure the extreme hydrogen density which is claimed - and that part of the technique could be a correlate of the Mills Effect, Nor does Holmlid adequately identify the radiation effects to the satisfaction of mainstream physics. In the end, Holmlid may be right for all the wrong reasons... which is the way that progress works, sometimes. Nevertheless, in the context of a progression and a hybridized device using many effects, the addition of dark output could be the big breakthrough in understanding. It would seem that an easy modification of the Holmlid experiments can offer an exceptional prospect for moving the entire LENR field forwards towards to a useful product which can be commercially marketed. If one could combine the best features of all these effects, the system would look most like Holmlid's. It would probably be laser driven, gas phase, and with a positron collection cone located some distance away from the target. Eventually, pair formation should be amenable to high efficiency MHD collection of the decay energy - or open for propulsion in Space. There is a fair chance that the X boson is indeed the breakthrough that finally puts LENR on the road to meeting the future energy needs of mankind … but looking almost nothing like the original Pons and Fleischmann cell, You heard it first on Vortex... right, Bob?
