Harry and all, One more point regarding a hypothetical proton-only energy release mechanism, in the context of Rossi - one where we want to find an energetic reaction that produces no radioactivity; but we know that actual proton fusion would not fit the measurements, and that the proton does not decay.
However ... we also know that most of the mass of a proton is NOT quark mass but is found in the form of "gluons" (or other exchange particles, gauge bosons, etc - which are 'place-markers' for generalized binding energy). A massively wrong assumption (of mainstream physics) is possible in this situation - which could provide the answer to how some nuclear mass is converted to energy without fusion, fission or decay. It is this: average mass-energy for the proton may not be indicative of the minimum mass-energy which is necessary to maintain the integrity of the particle. Let's say the known mass of the proton is 938.272013 MeV. However, it can be argued that this is really the "known average mass" and that this can vary - *if and when* a tiny bit of the mass-energy of gluons is extracted. Maybe it can go down to 937 MeV, for instance, and that the "average value" is recouped later. We do not need to specify how it is recouped. ... see where this line of reasoning is going? Jones This conclusion may be along the same lines as the Nyman paper, where a quark simulation seems to show a similar phenomenon with proton self-screening. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg44039.html -----Original Message----- From: Harry Veeder Power point presentation on evidence of Coulomb suppression (without electron screening) during LOW energy proton-proton scattering. A dip is suppose to occur where the nuclear field and the coulomb field destructively interfere but instead the nuclear field seems to predominate. (Conclusions on slide 19.
