The transition from hard x to ˠ occurs at about 30 keV; but, the
process posited by the inventors would generate two photons totalling
1.22 MeV.  What could be the source of x-rays if not some type of
non-nuclear process?  It is an interesting idea because of recent
research on transmutation due to x-rays.
