The 1929-30 Davis and Barnes experiment used alpha particles (stripped Helium ++ atoms) in an experiment that putatively allowed them to determine that when their velocity was slowed to 54.4 eV they picked up the 1st K shell Electron.They made their determination by detecting the 2+ beams on a scintillating phosphor detector plates.
This type of experiment might have missed fractional orbit Helium. OTOH, if my memory Electron Scattering experiments on protons found "inelastic anomalies" at about 3,900 eV electron energy. > > > I want to see if high energy "fractional orbit" hydrinos are formed in the > > water molecules in an ICE after "Preconditioning" in the Joe Cell. > > Do they evaporate out of the "highly conductive-syrupy liquid polywater" of > > the Cell as Dimers (H2OH2O) ? > > > > Fred
