Atomic H may be neutral, but H[1/2] carries an additional "pseudo charge" of +1 (according to Mills theory) giving it a total charge of +2. IMO this makes H[1/2] electrically indistinguishable from He+ from the point of view of the electron. Therefore, since H[1/2] can undergo further shrinkage, I fail to see why He+ could not also do so. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
