In this article, we report on laser-induced radiation and spontaneous radiation emitted from a chamber containing hydrogen Rydberg matter. The emitted isotropic radiation penetrates a 3-mm-thick steel wall and several meters of air. The radiation can be detected using a simple photoelectric multiplier (PM) detector with aluminum foil covering the front end of the PM tube. The experimental setup, how to initiate the radiation, and radiation detector construction are discussed in this article. In addition, the detector stability and time development of detector response when the chamber is activated by gas loading and laser excitation are reported. Gamma-ray sensitivity, x-ray sensitivity, and pulse shape are further examined to characterize the emitted radiation. The results presented herein have been recorded for the past 4 years. The extensive and extended research shown in this work verifies that when hydrogen enters an iron oxide Rydberg state catalyst containing potassium, the catalyst will eventually emit penetrating radiation that behaves as x rays. The radiation can easily be detected using several detector methods. The spontaneous signal shows all indications of being x-ray radiation in character. The findings of this study regarding hydrogen’s behavior in materials have not been previously reported and require additional investigation by other research teams.

“…Most studies using this source have employed a pulsed laser to transfer H(0) from state s = 2 to s = 1, but some studies have instead observed the spontaneous process [29,40] which creates mesons, muons and gamma photons. The induced and spontaneous processes appear so far to be quite similar, even if they seem to take place in different parts of the H(0) layer.…”

“…The 60 ns decay could be due to a pion with 319 MeV kinetic energy, but this does not fit well into any reasonable annihilation model. In other experiments [40], kaon creation is further tested by looking for gamma photons from neutral kaon decays. High-energy gamma photons were observed, but due to their high energy, an accurate calibration has not yet been possible.…”

Laser-induced nuclear reactions in ultra-dense hydrogen H(0) produce mesons with both relatively low kinetic energy and with high kinetic energy. The kaons have up to 100 MeV of kinetic energy, thus a velocity of 0.55 c. Each laser pulse of >0.1 J of energy and length of 5 ns produces 1013 mesons. The operation of the meson generator is here demonstrated by measuring all decay times for mesons in the ns range after induction by a pulsed laser. These decay times are the unique fingerprints of the mesons, and they also produce the kinetic energy of the mesons created from their time-dilated decay. The charged pion decay time at rest from this generator is measured to be 25.92 ± 0.04 ns (standard fit error), in reasonable agreement with the tabulated results of 26.033 ns. A similar accuracy is found for the other mesons as for the charged kaons, with 96 MeV of kinetic energy, at 14.81 ± 0.05 ns. The same general behaviour is found with both deuterium and normal hydrogen forming the ultra-dense phase H(0) on the laser target. This meson generator gives intense meson showers useful for many types of particle physics experiments at a small fraction of the cost of using particle accelerators. A particle accelerator would need an energy of at least 1021 eV to produce a similar shower of 1013 mesons. Thus, the described generator is among the most intense meson sources that exist. Other important applications include nuclear energy generation and particle (pion) radiation for cancer treatment.
