Ed and Jones-- The definition of gamma emission is cropping up again. Jones I assume you mean any electromagnetic radiation that stems from a nuclear transition of some sort. This would include low energy photons that Ed describes as well as nuclear magnetic resonance transitions to higher spin states activated by external oscillating magnetic fields and subsequent radiation emitted by the excited nucleus.
However, I assume gamma radiation would NOT include small amounts of electromagnetic radiation released by electrons in a metal lattice that share spin energy/angular momentum with near by nuclei, but are not part of the nuclei.

That's you're opinion. You're entitled to an opinion. Sorry to have made this blanket statement in regard to your prior post specifically, Eric, since it is a generic criticism to many of the posts on Vortex and not personal - but… No, it’s not opinion when 100% of the available proof is on your side. It is fact that LENR is not and cannot be a known fusion reaction, since it is fact that no known nuclear fusion reaction is gamma free. QED. Jones, this statement is not correct. LENR emits photons. These photons are not as energetic as those produced by many normal nuclear reactions, hence most do not escape the apparatus. Nevertheless, the mass-energy is released as photons as is normal and is required of a nuclear reaction. The only unknown is the mechanism causing this process. Obviously, a process is required that does not operate during hot fusion. Nevertheless, nuclear products are formed that can only result from a nuclear reaction having the known and well understood consequences. Ed Storms
