【 摘 要 】

The goal of these measurements was to evaluate whether there is evidence of emission of X-rays, gamma-rays, and neutrons by devices developed by Kaonetics Technologies, Inc. during their operation. The measurements were carried out with two Kaonetics???s modules, called EMR Gen 1 ("Device 1") and EMR Gen 2 ("Device 2"). Two types of detectors were set up in a remote building to avoid potential interference from other labs. For X- and gamma-rays we used a large-volume, high-sensitivity NaI(Tl) Bicron scintillation detector and a multichannel analyzer (MCA). For neutrons, we employed a ~ ?? liter 3He-filled proportional counter. The measurements were taken under normal background-dominated conditions.
