It is a question, and the idea is to (in-)validate it with an experiment. I recognise it is not a high-level method...
I know just that it is one key phenomenon in some theories, like W-L, Brillouin For what I have understood, e+p->n+v demand some energy (~780keV some say?), and maybe some momentum condition... But in lattice, like in a disco at night, many things can happen... Maybe some variant of the equation are allowed , with a neutrino produced... Beta decay may produce neutrino too ? at least if we have some result, some theories may be ruled out, and some gain interest. If a 1MW LENR reactor may flood Kamiokande, some could try to make a secret joke to the local physicist... I imagine just a Morse Code like. QRK LENR IS REAL... played in loop along few month. Big Physics mean big jokes. This may be the greatest physics joke of history. If not, WL and Brillouin may be sad, and Steven Krivit sure would be desperate. Me too for the missed joke. 2013/6/12 Edmund Storms <[email protected]> > > On Jun 12, 2013, at 9:10 AM, Alain Sepeda wrote: > > One theoretical question about LENR is whether it is an electron-capture >> process, involving the emission of a neutrino, or not. >> >> Today we have neutrino detectors like Kamiokande, or Daya Bay, working to >> detect neutrino from sun or nuclear reactors. >> >> My question is what should be the power of the LENR reactor required to >> cause a clear signal on those detectors. >> >> If we assume heat in NiH reactors is caused by (endothermic) >> electron-capture followed by (exothermic) absorption H+n+n+n (or >> Ni+n+n+n...), then some decay with He4... >> we could maybe compute roughly the heat produced per electron-capture, >> thus per neutrino emitted. >> > > Alain, why make this assumption?
