Steve Krivit has posted a note of about the Nov-14 upcoming event: ------------------------------------------------------------------- LENR Panel Session at American Nuclear Society National Meeting
On Wednesday, Nov. 14, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, the American Nuclear Society will hold a panel session on low-energy nuclear reaction research at its winter national meeting at the Town and Country hotel and resort in San Diego, Calif. The last LENR session at an ANS meeting took place in June 1998. The session will explore the surprising possibility that highly energetic nuclear reactions and elemental transmutations result from LENRs. Although the term was not used a century ago, examples of LENRs go back that far. LENRs are weak interactions and neutron-capture processes that occur in nanometer- to micron-scale regions on surfaces in condensed matter at room temperature. Although nuclear, LENRs are not based on fission or any kind of fusion, both of which primarily involve the strong interaction. The speakers and topics for the panel session are: Steven B. Krivit, publisher and senior editor of New Energy Times, from San Rafael, Calif.: The Big Picture of Low-Energy Nuclear Reaction Research Yasuhiro Iwamura, a LENR experimentalist with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan: Transmutation Reactions Induced by Deuterium Permeation Through Nano-Structured Pd Multilayer Thin Film, co-authors Takehiko Itoh (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd.), Yasuko Terada (Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute), Tetsuya Ishikawa (Coherent X-Ray Optics Laboratory, SPring-8/RIKEN) Domenico Cirillo, a LENR experimentalist with Cirillo Labs in Caserta, Italy: Slow Neutron Generation by Plasma Excitation in Electrolytic Cell Lewis G. Larsen, a LENR theorist and chief executive officer of Lattice Energy LLC, from Chicago, Ill: Electroweak Neutron Production via e + p > n + v and Capture During Lightning Discharges ------------------------------------------------------------------- See - http://news.newenergytimes.net/2012/10/03/lenr-panel-session-at-american-nuclear-society-national-meeting/ If you look at the following paper (p.1 preview): "Experimental Evidence of a Neutron Flux Generation in a Plasma Discharge Electrolytic Cell" http://www.scientific.net/KEM.495.104 - it appears that some of the neutrons generated in the plasma do escape and are detectable. Transmutations are also present with isotopic distributions that do not appear in nature. One of Cirillo's earlier papers is at- "Transmutation of metal at low energy in a confined plasma in water" http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/CirilloDtransmutat.pdf Some abstracts of papers by the authors are at - http://newenergytimes.com/v2/conferences/2011/IC-MAST/IC-MAST-2011Absracts.pdf Since the discharge occurs in H2O, is it possibly related to sonofusion? - Lou Pagnucco
