There are several possibilities for the UV, Lou - and your hat is now in the ring along with Randy Mills and a few others.
Cleary EUV and soft x-rays are involved. Clearly the values are not falling into the expected Rydberg levels. One value that stands out in this study is the 19.29 nm wavelength. It should be 22.8 nm for Mills - and the excuse given does not ring true. There could be some kind of cut-off but I'm not buying it - simply because the graph would not be so spiked. I'm glad to see any well-considered suggestions to explain it. My suggestion is far-out as well (92 million miles out) but many heard have heard it before and it is definitely a minority viewpoint. (so I take every opportunity to "radiate it"). Curiously 19.3 nm is a value that turns up often in solar astronomy. http://www.azonano.com/news.aspx?newsID=26419 There could be one or more mundane explanations for this. In the paper above, the detector was designed to look for this value, but for a good reason. The the sun was photographed in ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 19.3 nanometers - 25 times shorter than wavelengths of visible light - simply because it is characteristic of solar energy. That wavelength is blocked by Earth's atmosphere, so to observe it astronomers must get above the atmosphere. To cut to the chase - this mass-energy value, 19.3 nm, appears to be the expected energy release from solar RPF. Solar RPF is a theory of "reversible proton fusion". It is also known as the diproton reaction. But make no mistake - the so-called "diproton" is helium and NOT hydrogen, even though its lifetime is extremely short. For every instance of real fusion on the sun there are about 10^20 instances of transient diprotons, which are fusing for a few femtoseconds and then reversing back to protons. This instant reversibility is due basically to the Pauli exclusion principle. However, due the short instant of binding there are energetic QCD color changes which take place in the six quarks. In short, at least in this RPF hypothesis, nickel-hydrogen gain on earth, is based on the solar model of RPF and the relevant emission is EUV at 19.3 nm and not Mills' Rydberg value. -----Original Message----- From: pagnu...@htdconnect.com Jones, A good find. I have only read it quickly, but maybe a simpler explanation suffices. Anomalous 'continuum' emissions occur only in proportion to hydrogen present. This leads me to conjecture that: Elliptical Rydberg H-atoms form and ionize, creating fairly intense (mixed e-p) current filaments, along with (in the lab frame) a strong magnetic vector potential ('A-field') pointing in the plasma flow direction. Some of the ionizing e-p pairs form transient, non-stationary colliding waveforms trapped in their own embracing coulomb potentials. (Several QM texts cover the math of transient coulomb collisions.) As the e-p collide, they slow dramatically. In their collision frame the vector potential (A-field) suddenly shrinks, donating it's field energy to the collision (to obey momentum conservation.) By conventional physics (see Feynman ref[1] below), this must force e-p wave function into highly localized, high kinetic energy, compressed pairs - "compressive" collisions similar to colliding rubber balls, as opposed to colliding billiards. When the proton recaptures the electron, returning to a stationary state, the K.E. borrowed from the A-field is radiated and observed. The author rules out both bremsstrahlung and recombination. My conjecture combines counter-intuitive elements of both. If it's correct, no exothermic LENR occurs, but still a valuable experiment. -- Lou Pagnucco [1] Feynman Lectures, v3, ch21, "Schrodinger's equation in a magnetic field" http://www.peaceone.net/basic/Feynman/V3%20Ch21.pdf Pertinent extract (p.21-5) - "But remember what happens electrically when I suddenly turn on a flux. During the short time that the flux is rising, there's an electric field generated whose line integral is the rate of change of the flux with time: E = - dA/dt (21.16) That electric field is enormous if the flux is changing rapidly, and it gives a force on the particle. The force is the charge times the electric field, and so during the build up of the flux the particle obtains a total impulse (that is, a change in mv) equal to -qA. In other words, if you suddenly turn on a vector potential at a charge, this charge immediately picks up an 'mv' momentum equal to -qA."
