Harry, If one seeks to engineer maximum packing of nucleons which have rudimentary information transfer, then it would seem that there could be four distinct size categories of interest which can have net integral spin and follow the statistical description given by Bose and Einstein (statistics which do not restrict the number of particles of that occupy the same quantum state). These could also have paths of information transfer.
These groups would be 1) nuclear 2) atomic 3) molecular and 4) quantum dot or nano-droplet ... but in the case of UDD even the quantum dot is going to smaller than atomic. If we should require an added input of energy, then perhaps an active target forms at the geometry of the Casimir force maximum. That would be 2 nm but that would represent thousands maybe millions of atoms of UDD. This is not a good fit, on paper. When you think about the modality of coupling to 532 nm laser pulse - it would seem again that the ultra dense state is overkill - and not needed. It could be counter productive. Actually Mills theory of densification would seem to offer a better gemometric fit when it comes to coupling to a laser beam like the one being used. We cannot rule out the possibility of Holmlid being correct on the muons and wrong on the theory. H LV wrote: The first level nest consists of a free nucleon. They consider the second level nest which consists nucleons grouped in a nucleus. I am considering the third level nest which consists nucleons grouped into a nucleus which in turn form a group of nuclei. Nuclei in condensed matter are so far apart that it s commonly assumed that they can be treated as islands with no possibility informing each other, but maybe that assumption is wrong under some circumstances.

There is no firm evidence for this conclusion, other than that it would tie up a lot of loose ends if it were accurate. -------------------- According to LH dense hydrogen is a superfluid... ----------------- H LV wrote: Just curious, in what state are the target nuclei? Are these free floating nuclei like in a gas or are they part of a solid? Harry
