I am more interested in the apparent empirical results than any particular characterization the authors suggest, which are laid out clearly enough simply by comparing figure 5 to table 3. Particularly I would like to know of any reasons to find these results suspect. I know these authors have published results on piezonuclear reactions that are going to be an uphill battle to verify. Also this experimental setup is quiet distinct from the beam crossing experiments mentioned in that the beams never actually cross in the usual sense.

Any further information or concerns about these results would be appreciated.

Perhaps I should try to repeat this myself. If this result is valid and a similar effect is can be observed after modifications to the switching mechanism it opens up a whole range of experimental possibilities. Cross beam type experiments could also be modified in a similar way. I need to bone up on the phenomena of ghost interference.
