Warning: rated PG (pretty groovy) A committee of prominent civic,
religious, and PetroPac leaders may have already decreed that the
following information has no redeeming social value ;-)
If Dufour/Spence/QED is correct, and there does exist a transitory
(redundant ground state) hydrogen species with a bound electron at 2.095
eV -- which corresponds to yellow coherent light at 592 nm --
... would one reasonably expect that a population of free protons, i.e.
a strong acid, such as sulphuric acid, might show some kind of anomaly
when irradiated by such a laser? The problem is what kind of anomaly -
could there be anything more convincing than a tiny amount of surplus heat?
Perhaps a sensitive GM radiation monitor or EUV photocell would register
a small signal from the laser irradiation ?
