OK - this seems to be getting somewhere closer to alternatively
explaining the SPAWAR CR-39 tracks -
...and [in the event that the hydrino is real] the result of the faux-n
approach to any nucleus in the plastic - which hydrinos are too large to
cause a transmutation, and as Robin says, they would be destroyed
energetically ... then...
What does this look like? IMHO it looks identical to a neutron beta
decay, only the beta energy is somewhat less energetic than the range of
normal neutron decay, and there is no neutrino.
Let us not forget that the main feature which is attractive about Widom/
Larson to those experts who understand these tracks by visual experience
from years of seeing them - is that they DO look almost exactly like
neutron decays, except lower energy - correct?
Only problem - if the the hydrino does turn out to be the active culprit
then it is not real neutron decay at all: instead it is faux-n which is
forced into the "killing zone" near a larger nucleus, resulting in what
looks like neutron beta decay.
This elegantly explains why the tracks are described as "energy
deficient" neutron decays... only there never was a real neutron, nor is
there a real neutrino. Not that we could measure that anyway, but if we
could, then it would be the tell-tale difference.

Yes, but there is a snake in the grass. Since Faux-n is not really n,
the near
field of the electron will only suffice to bring it closer to the
nucleus. But
this may only happen once. Consider that the electron is still "tied"
to the
proton by it's electric field, and hence is equally subject to the
electric
field of the larger nucleus. IOW there is every chance that the shrunken
electron will "jump ship" at the first opportunity, forming an even
tighter
orbit around the heavy nucleus, and resulting in the proton simply being
expelled by the repulsive force of the larger nucleus. This is a "hydrino
destroyer", and it may be the reason that transmutation reactions are
still
rather rare.
Yes, the binding energy of the faux-n is not enough to withstand a large
E. It takes a weak reaction to create a real neutron, plus lots of
energy, to create the neutron's highly bound state.
OTOH of course there is a considerable energy release when the
electron jumps ship, which in itself may still be useful as a fuel
source,
especially if the larger nucleus is of a common element such as Oxygen or
Silicon.
That's an interesting observation.
