“…The generation of X-rays was caused by the absorption of inertons by the atoms' electrons with the subsequent emission of X-rays, as is the case with the emission of gamma-quanta described in Section 3.1 and the ultraviolet photons, as was examined [1] at the consideration of sonoluminescence. By this means the observed neutrons [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] were not real neutrons but subatoms and nuclear pairs, which follows from the discussion in the previous subsections of the present work.…”

“…Cardone et al [52] informed that measured emission of neutrons at a mechanical crushing of solid specimens, such as marble and granite; neutron emission measurements were conducted by means of helium-3 neutron detectors. Besides, Cardone et al [53] reported the results of neutron measurements carried out during the application of ultrasounds to a solution containing only stable elements like Iron and Chlorine, without any other radioactive source of any kind; they called the phenomenon "piezonuclear neutrons".…”

“…Therefore in experiments [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] inerton fields should also be generated when bombarding the target by deuterons. Inertons appeared also at the striction of the piezocrystals (because the rate of striction is much faster than the sound velocity, see also Ref.…”

We study both experimentally and theoretically the creation of a new physical entity, a particle in which the proton and electron form a stable pair with a tiny size typical for a nucleon. A new theoretical approach to study atomic, sub atomic and nuclear systems is suggested. In the framework of this new approach, which takes into account a submicroscopic concept of physics, we discuss similar experimental results of other researchers dealing with low energy nuclear reactions in a solid, plasma, sonofusion and the electrostatic field generated by piezocrystals. It is shown that the formation of sub atomic particles, which we name subatoms, involves an inerton cloud of an atom from the environment. The inerton cloud, as a carrier of mass, is absorbed by the electron and proton, which strongly couples these two particles in a new stable entity -the subhydrogen. Besides, we have generated a subhelium and argue the existence of subdeuterium. In addition to these subatoms there exist also nuclear pairs formed by a subatom with proton, deuteron and neutron.

“…The tests were carried out at the Laboratory of Fracture Mechanics of the Politecnico di Torino, Italy. By subjecting quasi-brittle materials such as granitic rocks to compression tests, for the first time, bursts of neutron emission (NE) during the failure process were observed [1][2][3][4][5], necessarily involving nuclear reactions, besides the well-known acoustic emission (AE) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], and the phenomenon of electromagnetic radiation (EM) [14][15][16][17][18][19], which is highly suggestive of charge redistribution during material failure and at present under investigation.…”

“…x p-hole theory is a fascinating late proposal that seems still under discussion in the geological scientific community (see [8] and related papers); x neutron emission theory seems not to give specific arguments in relation to the expected imaging performances of the joined electromagnetic field [9]; x high-powered laser can only give rise to confined marks similar to those reported in Obs. c) and d).…”

Abstract. This paper is especially aimed at claiming the electrical imaging as the most eligible transfer mechanism, than among others, in relation to the undistorted (to some extent, to be quite specific) body features of the Turin Shroud Man. Explaining the good quality of an on-plane electrostatic rendering turns out to be a rather hard exercise because of the refined composition of arguments that the subject carries along behind it. These need careful attention, as that paid to the greatest possible extent in the present treatment, in order to set up an indispensable theoretical background preparatory to any future experimental validation. We are very hopeful that this outcome can be reached with the stipulation that the exposed body is embedded in a suitably pre-ionized airspace. Accordingly, a suitable radon-originated air ionization scenario, internally to a closed space, is envisaged and discussed in the present stage of the investigation. The radon concentration needed to trigger and control interspersed corona activity is carefully examined. This activity results in a typical accelerated-aging surface agent for fabric and other dielectric materials. The given physicochemical degradation is here assumed as being directly implied, under prescribed conditions, even in the special image formation pertaining to the Shroud of Turin. Perhaps, the most striking prediction made in the paper is that, under tectonic conditions which are usually met in a number of radon-prone areas, radon overconcentrations can attain and exceed the level related to the discharge onset. Interestingly, this is also the case for the Old City of Jerusalem as a place intimately connected to Turin Shroud studies.
