...whole thing is over," said prominent Yale physicist Moshe Gai, who attended the conference. "Pons and Fleischmann's experiment is clearly flawed...
Jones, who initially worked with Pons and Fleischmann but was left out when the pair made their dramatic announcement in March, said he will be collaborating with Gai this summer. He emphasized that they will study his experiment, rather than the one conducted by Pons and Fleischmann...
Jones said that Gai has an extremely sensitive neutron detector which would help them better understand the way the neutrons are emitted from the reactions. The latest studies indicate that the neutrons are emitted in sharp bursts, a phenomenon for which there is yet no explanation...
This new phenomenon of science by press conference disturbed many researchers. Said Moshe Gai, a Yale physicist and a member of the Yale- Brookhaven collaboration: "I am dissatisfied and somewhat disappointed with some of my fellow scientists who have done things too much in a hurry." Charles C. Baker, director of fusion research at Argonne National Laboratory, was blunter: "Calling press conferences and making claims of results without having a well-prepared technical report is not the way for a good, professional scientist to function...
More exhaustive tests are under way. Among the most promising is a collaboration between Brookhaven National Laboratory and Yale University. Says Moshe Gai, a Yale physicist who is a member of the team: "We've got first- class chemists and physicists and an array of neutron detectors." Brookhaven physicist Kelvin Lynn believes they should know very soon whether last month's announcements represent an unidentified chemical reaction or an ) unsuspected form of fusion. The world can hardly wait for an answer...
