Here there is a possible explanation as to why the BECs will STOP forming and then re-forming.
for the cold fusion ping list
Very interesting paper. The manufacture of a Bose-Einstein condensate would explain many things about LENR, although how a BEC could form at anything like room temperature is hard to visualize, and the authors are coy on this rather important detail.
Still, their big-picture view of the overall state of LENR research is interesting and instructive.
One of the alternatives to calorimetry is to measure Gamma rays. I was kicked off LENR Forum when I accepted the offer from Alan Smith to test Gammas. I set up a GoFundMe account to pay for it and those guys did not like it.
MFMP had posted they were seeing gammas several years ago. It was “replicated” within 48 hours by Biberian and then the guy who had the gamma detector took his toys and went home. They never updated their web page, they basically moved on to other things even though this was the HOLY GRAIL.
Years later, Bob Greenyer has a mumbling explanation of it which makes little sense.

Because with careful calorimetry, Alan was unable to see any excess heat in any of his runs.
After many attempts to find out additional details from Mizuno, it became clear that not everything is being disclosed. Alan is therefore not keen to work on ‘Replication” where replication is technically impossible.
When we did Celani wires, we got 12.5% excess on second run and nearly 20% on Steel and Glass cells. With our best guess at what Rossi was doing, and combined with learning from Piantelli and Parkhomov, we got around 20% excess. After multiple runs with Mizuno - it is still a dud yet the claims were so bold and claimed procedure so high.
We now understand that these systems can produce fake ‘gamma’ signals, established by Matsumoto by 1995 - this is likely the ‘Gamma’ we saw in Oct 2013 in Celani leaky dual cell and the ‘Signal’ (which appears to go into the gamma range with no characteristic x-rays) we saw years later in GS 5.2
Have you got data on excess heat and schematics for how you are assessing it.
