-----Original Message----- From: Abd ul-Rahman Lomax > triple tracks are strong evidence of energetic neutrons, that's why the Triple Track paper had such an impact.
And you are certain it is seen by skeptics as positive impact? Let me ask you a couple of questions Abd, since you are writing with the imprimatur of a high level of technical understanding of this situation, and yet are apparently unaware of the full implications of what you are saying. To make it simple, I will ask only two questions. First question: what is the fission cross-section (3 alpha) of 12C for energetic D+T neutrons? Caveat - please do not confuse this with the elastic, inelastic, spallation or any other cross-section value. >> JB: The supposition of higher energy neutrons in LENR is absolutely ludicrous after all of these years of non-detectability !!! > Adb: This really shows, I'm afraid, ignorance of the situation, of why it took so long to discover this radiation. The level is quite low, down in or close to the noise, for detectors at any significant distance from the source. Ok, next question. As an authority on this subject, as evidenced by your previous remarks, and assuming you have answered the first question correctly, please calculate the flux of energetic neutrons necessary to achieve the experimental evidence which the SPAWAR paper claims - giving them full benefit for finding roughly 10 triple tracks in three days in the CR-39 under their published parameters. You can assume that the film is composed of 100% carbon if that helps. These two answers should not be difficult at all for an expert like yourself. Once you have posted them, it should be rather easy for even a rank amateur like myself to demonstrate a point that apparently contradicts almost everything you have implied in the previous posting. Unless, of course, my ignorance of the situation is as you claim. Regards, Jones
