Jones primary position states that LENR does not produce gamma radiation because LENR is not a nuclear process. Therefore, gamma level radiation cannot be produced in any conceivable event. This is the same position that Mills takes. Axil - this is incorrect, except for Mills. As mentioned, after discovering from Ahern, who went to the lecture at MIT- that Hagelstein also believes that gamma radiation cannot be produced in any conceivable LENR event, there is no good reason not to support the major part of his theory. It is QM based. You have badly misinterpreted what he has been saying, as I was also doing. He actually seldom mentions gamma rays, because there are none at all. IOW gammas do not exist in the LENR reaction because it is not a thermonuclear reaction - which is precisely what I have been saying all along. You have been claiming they are emitted, but then absorbed. That is not Hagelstein’s view – far from it! I was unaware of that precise detail. In fact, the energy of the reaction has been completely dissipated before it ever occurs. That is pure QM, in the sense of time reversal. Gammas are thermonuclear. They cannot be absorbed easily, and especially not by polaritons or plasmons. Jones cannot accept that gamma fractionalization can be so complete. I states that gamma is produced is some situations but can be completely fractionalized in LENR, especially by LENR+; the LENR of the Ni/H reactor. Yes that part is right – I cannot accept your version - because for one thing, there is no support for it on the technical level nor on the practical level. In short, there is no expert opinion support for the viewpoint of fractionalization, as you have described it. Certainly, it is not what Hagelstein believes – if his theory is what you had been using as your authority. Jones
