the production of positron is also possible with beta+ disintegration http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_decay#.CE.B2.2B_decay beta+ decay is not common, but can happens wikipedia talk of Fredeic&Irene Joliot Curie experiment of bombardment of Al27 by He4, witch lean to n+P30, wich decay with beta+ and here they list the isotopes that decay beta+ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron_emission
however looking for proposed widom-larsen network of transmutation http://www.slideshare.net/lewisglarsen/lattice-energy-llctechnical-overviewcarbon-seed-lenr-networkssept-3-2009 one see that no positron-decaying isotope is produced (normal they are neutron rich) He4 bombardment is happening in Widom-Larsen model, so one can expect few alpha absorption by some nucleus... the proposed reaction for Al27 (stable, found in WL Chain from C) is absorption of He4 except a neutron, and then positron beta decay... and since the zone is full of heavy electrons. maybe similar reaction another possibility is a reaction of conversion from hypothetical heavy-proton to neutron+positron+neutrino... but if heavy electrons are a credible hypothesis, heavy protons is an hypothesis to be checked by a physicist 2012/2/9 Mark Goldes <[email protected]> > Rossi has consistently refused to provide details of what is going on > inside the E-Cat reactor, but he has mentioned that gamma rays have been > detected.
