1. Further details on Widom-Larsen gamma shielding mechanism
Lattice Energy LLC Chicago, IL

Further technical details about W-L gamma ‘shielding’ mechanism in
condensed matter LENRs

More details will now be provided about the Widom-Larsen theory’s
concept of a built-in gamma ‘shielding’ mechanism that we believe
occurs at LENR-active sites in condensed matter systems.

What is referred to as ‘shielding’ in this context is really a dynamic
process of absorption and direct conversion of locally emitted gammas
into many more less energetic infrared photons (has tiny, highly
variable soft  X-ray ‘tail’) at high efficiency while, of course,
obeying the law of conservation of energy.

Importantly, ALL of the many-body particles found within a condensed
matter 2 nm to 100 micron 3-D LENR-active ‘patch’ (in which there is
also a total breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation)  —
surface plasmon or π electrons; protons or deuterons; produced ULM
neutrons  —  oscillate collectively and  —  key point  —  are mutually
quantum mechanically entangled with each other.

This unique characteristic of LENR-active surface sites is explained
in great detail in several Lattice SlideShare presentations; the
existence of this Q-M phenomenon is well-supported by recently
published, outstanding work by other researchers who operate totally
outside the field of LENRs.

Because of the above, when an ULM neutron is created collectively, its
3-D DeBroglie wave function must perforce span all three spatial
dimensions of the particular LENR-active patch in which it is‘born’.

 During a brief interval of several picoseconds before such a neutron
is locally captured by some atom located with the (we think) oblate
spheroidal spatial boundaries of the neutron’s extended DeBroglie wave
function within a many-body ‘patch’, it is interacting with MANY
different atoms that ‘compete’ amongst each other to capture it (has a
many-body scattering cross-section, NOT 2-body).

Note that only a modest percentage of the total number of
mass-renormalized electrons located withinthe 3-D spatial Q-M domain
of an LENR-active patch will have absorbed enough energy from the very
high (> 2 x 10*11 V/m) local electric field to cross the threshold for
making ULM neutrons by a direct e+ p electroweak reaction.

Most of the heavier than normal electrons are locally present but unreacted.

When an ULM neutron captures onto an atom located inside the entangled
3-D Q-M domain of an LENR-active patch, there is normally a prompt
gamma photon emission by that atom.

Well, remember that the DeBroglie wave functions of the entangled,
mass-renormalized ‘heavy’ electrons are also 3-D, NOT 2-D.

Since the neutron capture gamma photon emission occurs INSIDE the 3-D
quantum mechanical structure of a 3-D LENR-active ‘patch’, there are
always heavy electrons available nearby to absorb such gamma emissions
and convert them directly into infrared photons.

Ergo, it doesn’t matter where a gamma emission occurs inside a given
3-D patch, it will always get converted to IR, which is exactly what
has been observed experimentally.

You will not observe large fluxes of ‘hard’ gammas emitted from such a
3-D patch, no matter which x-y-z direction they are measured from.

The above ‘shielding’ also applies to any gammas that might be
produced in conjunction with beta-decays of unstable, extremely
neutron-rich isotopes that are briefly present in LENR-active patches
before they ‘die.’

The vast majority of these very short-lived intermediate nuclear
products will have disappeared in serial cascades of beta-decay chains
into end-product stable isotopes/elements before the dynamic local
population of heavy-mass electrons goes completely away.

Again, this prediction is very consistent with what is seen
experimentally: with mass spectroscopy, post-experiment you can
observe the presence of stable transmutation products in which prompt
capture gammas were undoubtedly produced along the likely
nucleosynthetic pathway, but no ‘hard’ gamma fluxes can ever be
measured during the process of LENR transmutation itself.

Ergo, the gammas were converted to something else --- namely infrared
(IR) photons that are manifested calorimetrically as ‘excess heat’.

2. Further details on Widom-Larsen gamma shielding mechanism

The oft-mentioned idea of taking an operating, current-technology LENR
device and looking for measurable attenuation of a standard gamma
photon source (e.g., Cobalt-60) passing through it would not work
because present LENR devices have only a tiny fraction (<<<1%) of a
device’s surface that might be LENR-active at any given time.

We have already spoken with people who are experts on low-count gamma
measurements and they think that the signal-to-noise ratio in such a
case would be too low for this to be a meaningful, direct experimental
test of gamma suppression.

BTW -- this typically minuscule % of LENR-active surface is exactly
why measurable excess heat production in today’s devices is usually
very modest and only occurs rarely --- e.g., in
‘successful’experiments it commonly amounts to just milliwatts to
perhaps a Watt or so for a while before stopping.

Recent claims by one company that it has achieved reliable, long
duration, consistently repeatable Megawatt heat production from an
LENR thermal system are most likely quite erroneous.

Substantially increasing the % and longevity of LENR-active surface
area is one of several key technological hurdles that must be
surmounted to successfully commercialize LENRs for power generation
applications.

We now believe Lattice has indeed finally developed key technical
knowledge that is required to begin an LENR device engineering program
aimed at building well-performing commercial prototypes with fully
predictable, controllable heat output.

In that regard, we are presently looking for the capital needed to
fund that program.

Obviously, we have no intention of releasing any of that
extraordinarily valuable engineering-related information publicly in
any venue.

It is also important to note that ULM neutrons are captured locally
inside the spatial domain of an LENR-active patch long before they
have enough time to kinetically thermalize, which takes 0.1 to 0.2
milliseconds.

Local capture is exactly why significant energetic neutron emissions
are so rare in LENR condensed matter systems; it is one of several
‘signature’ characteristics of ‘green’ LENR processes.

Lastly, Lattice also has a fundamental issued US patent on its gamma
shielding art as follows:US #7,893,414 B2 titled, ”Apparatus and
Method for Absorption of Incident Gamma Radiation and its Conversion
to Outgoing Radiation at Less Penetrating, Lower Energies and
Frequencies” Inventors: Lewis Larsen and Allan Widom Issued: February

Abstract:“Gamma radiation (22) is shielded by producing a region of
heavy electrons (4) and receiving incident gamma radiation in such
region.
The heavy electrons absorb energy from the gamma radiation and
re-radiate it as photons (38, 40) at a lower energy and frequency.
The heavy electrons may be produced in surface plasmon polaritons.
Multiple regions (6) of collectively oscillating protons or deuterons
with associated heavy electrons may be provided.
Nanoparticles of a target material on a metallic surface capable of
supporting surface plasmons may be provided.
The region of heavy electrons is associated with that metallic surface.
The method induces a breakdown in a Born-Oppenheimer approximation.

Apparatus and method are described.
”Summary: Gamma ‘shielding’ mechanism of the Widom-Larsen theory
provides a plausible explanation for ‘signature’ absence of ‘hard’  >1
MeV gamma emissions from ‘green’ condensed matter LENRs.

slide 50 Unexpected degradation/failure of underground power cables

During the mid-1960s, a number of different electrical equipment
manufacturers developed technology for producing durable underground
AC or DC (copper or aluminum as the conductor) power cables carrying
up to 450 kV using cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) that replaced
layers of paper-oil for insulation.
When widespread global deployment of such power cables began in the
mid-1970s, it was widely believed they might enjoy trouble-free
in-ground lifetimes of at least 40 - 50 years before experiencing
significant rates of failure.
Much to everyone's surprise, unexpectedly high rates of premature
cable failures began to appear worldwide by the mid-1980s.
This is can be an expensive problem for utilities with large
deployments of underground cable within their grids, particularly in
case of high-current, high voltage underground cables
(up to 450 kV) used in many countries such as Japan.

Unexpected service disruptions and expenses associated with digging-up
and repairing failed high-capacity underground power cables is an
issue for many electric utilities scattered around the world.
After extensive analysis, it was determined that a significant number
of such cable failures were caused by structural 'defects' that 'grew'
over time in XPLE sheathing after in-ground installation.
Such defects came to be known in the electric utility business as
"water trees."

These so-called water (or electrochemical) trees are complex,
branching 3-D dendritic structures that grow outward from
conductor-XLPE interfaces in hydrophobic polymers in the presence of
electric fields and water.
Evidence indicates that in damaged regions of XLPE sheaths, water
trees consist of random 'tracks' of oxidized polymer that interconnect
a series of microvoids.
The greater the density of such microvoids in XLPE sheathing, the
greater the likelihood that water trees, once formed, will continue to
grow and connect, eventually causing significant degradation of XLPE
insulation's effectiveness and eventually, potentially catastrophic
cable failure.
Until very recently, specifics of the conditions under which water
trees form and grow in XLPE cables, as well as the physico-chemical
mechanisms underlying such phenomena, were something of a mystery.
Early work on failed cables determined that a variety of different
anomalous 'contaminants' were present in and around water trees.
This was initially thought to result from problems with either quality
control in the XLPE chemical manufacturing process and/or in the
bonding chemistry at the interface between the XLPE and the metallic
conductive cable (copper or aluminum).
Oddly, additional study appeared to rule-out those possibilities as
the source of the anomalous 'contaminants' associated with water
trees.
Further investigation over the past 5 years now suggests that
'contaminants' in water trees were not present anywhere in the cables
prior to being buried underground and used to carry electric power.
In 2005 and 2008, Kumazawa et al. of Chubu Electric Power Co., Tatsuta
Electric Wire & Cable Co., Ltd., and Osaka Prefecture University
reported experimental detection of nuclear transmutation products in
water trees in excellent papers published in the refereed Wiley
InterScience journal,
Electrical Engineering in Japan.

"...Furthermore, the isotopic content of Zn deviated over 6% from
natural abundance.
These results suggest that water tree propagation is related to
unknown physical or electrochemical reactions."

Abstract:

"It is well known that water tree propagation in XLPE cable is
significantly influenced by inorganic impurities in water.
Therefore, we investigated both changes in concentration and deviation
of isotopic content of inorganic elements in XLPE samples by water
tree experiments in a clean [room] environment.
The concentration of several kinds of elements (e.g., Li, Na, Mg, Al,
K, Ca, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Bi) in water-tree sample showed anomalous
increase or decrease dependent on cation (K+, Na+, or Ag+) in water
solution compared with blank or original samples.
Furthermore, the isotopic content of Zn deviated over 6% from natural abundance.
These results suggest that water tree propagation is related to
unknown physical or electrochemical reactions."


'Clean room' - sample contamination not a significant issue:
Please note that Kumazawa et al.'s carefully controlled laboratory
experiments with 'water trees' described in this reference were
conducted under rigorous electronic 'clean room' conditions, so
contamination from outside sources is not a problematic issue in their
mass spectroscopy measurements, that is, their detection of LENR
nuclear transmutation products in and around the "water trees" growing
inside the XLPE power cable insulation in their experiments.

Quoting directly from their 2005 paper:
"Various models have been proposed regarding the mechanism by which
water trees, an important form of deterioration in XLPE cable, are
created and propagated.
Initially, theories which modeled the physical breakdown mechanism of
XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) based on Maxwell stress and
dielectrophoresis in the concentric field were frequently seen.
... On the other hand, because no general correlation has been seen
between the development of water trees and oxidation products, there
have also been reports suggesting an unknown chemical reaction that
XLPE, oxygen, or ions participate in.
Given this background, the authors attempted to discover
experimentally whether or not an unknown breakdown mechanism could
exist separate from conventional ideas.
The focus of this attempt is impurities frequently detected in regions
with water tree deterioration. In particular, inorganic elements
(metallic ions) are known to participate significantly in the
occurrence and development of water trees.
This is thought to suggest that an important message for understanding
the key to this mechanism is hidden in these 'traces.'
Thus, the authors generate water trees in XLPE samples in as clean an
environment as possible, and then explore in detail the concentration
of inorganic elements and the changes to their isotopic content
present in the samples... the authors discuss the source and features
of these variable elements."
