If you are implying they are quarks, then no. Quarks do not come
"unglued" even at near TeV energies...
Sure - but according to the very same authority,
What authority?
deuterium does not fuse at ambient temperatures ... and never,
never, never does 12C fission from a neutron capture.
The 3 alpha reaction 12C(n,n’)3alpha is well known. I don't know
what you are talking about.
If you are going to postulate "new physics" then there is
absolutely no good reason to limit it to various whims of
improbability. In fact, a "temporarily free quark" imprint is
possibly *more likely* than 12C fission ... since it need not be
permanent (whereas the carbon fission is permanent and must have
secondary gammas, which are absent) -
The triple tracks are rare. They accumulate to an observable number
over a period of days in CR-39. Their counts would be buried in
background for a particle counter.
.... especially assuming that neither has a real precedent.
