I have a bad feeling about the durability of the SPAWAR claim, which
presents an analysis of the energies involved in a single triple track
image.
Could SPAWAR put on the Net some high-resolution full-page images as 3D
stereo pairs, from several angles, of this feature, comparing it to similar
photos of triple tracks in the same setup from a calibrated neutron source?
Also, were the plastic cells reused?
How thick are the cell walls, and what are their resistance, dielectric
breakdown voltage, and dielectric constant?
Have any tests studied whether ionizing radiation, microshocks, and the
complicated electrochemistry in the cells can alter the cell wall
resistance,
dielectric breakdown voltage, and dielectric constant?

395) A strange story worth recording

(1) On July 21, 2010 I learned about a new SPAWAR paper.
It was published in EPJ AP, on July 7, 2010.
The title is "Comparison of Pd/D co-deposition and DT neutron generated
triple tracks observed in CR-39 detectors;"
the authors are: P. A. Mosier-Boss, J. Y. Dea, L. P.G. Forsley, M. S. Morey,
J. R. Tinsley, J. P. Hurley and F. E. Gordon.
I downloaded that interesting article and informed the CMNS list about its
existence.
After sharing the link I wrote:
I will read their article more carefully later.
The first quick reading convinced me that a big step froward has been made
by SPAWAR team.
I hope their article will be discussed on this forum."
[... long and detailed discussion ]
PS
R. Murray sent another message to the editor of EPJ AP.
The CC was again sent to me and to Pamela Boss.
Murray's submision was refused and he was commenting on the rejection.
It was mostly about the electric field inside the cell.
I do not know why Murray speculates about the "possibility [that the] solar
system dark matter" may be involved.
But his concern about the possible of "microleaks" makes sense to me.
SPAWAR people are experienced chemists and their plastic cells were probably
very clean.
My calculation was based on this assumption.
But suppose the opposite walls are coated with a conducting layer of dry
electrolyte.
In that case the electric field inside of the cell would be much higher than
I calculated.

I apologize for my error of passing on Ludwik Kowalski's post to me to EPJAP
without getting his permission.

Abstract
Solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs),
such as CR-39, have been used to detect energetic
charged particles and neutrons.
Of the neutron and charged particle interactions
that can occur in CR-39,
the one that is the most easily identifiable
is the carbon breakup reaction.
The observation of a triple track, which appears
as three alpha particle tracks breaking away
from a center point,
is diagnostic of the 12C(n, n )3 carbon breakup reaction.
Such triple tracks have been observed in CR-39
detectors that have been used in
Pd/D co-deposition experiments.
In this communication, triple tracks in CR-39 detectors
observed in Pd/D co-deposition experiments are
compared with those generated upon exposure to a
DT neutron source.
It was found that both sets of tracks were indistinguishable.
Both symmetric and asymmetric tracks were observed.
Using linear energy transfer (LET) curves
and track modeling, the energy of the neutron
that created the triple track can be estimated.
