Re: Electrinos?

VEEEEERY interesting. Several of these names (both experimentalists
and theorists) are familiar to Low Temp researchers from the late
60's and early 80's.

If you're pissed at the thought of a bunch of EEs winning the
physics Nobel prize, you can take heart in the theory of British
experimentalist Humphrey Maris. He thinks interstitial electrons in
liquid He, excited by IR radiation from a carbon dioxide laser, can
fission into two sub-electronic particles. He calls them electrinos.
If he's correct, it'll bust quantum mechanics as we know it wide
open and surely lead to a future Nobel prize. Read all about it at
