Remarks on "Piezonuclear neutrons from fracturing of inert solids"    [PDF]

Giovanni Comoretto, Marco Prevedelli

In two series of measurements, Cardone, Carpinteri et al. report an excess of neutrons over the background flux corresponding to the catastrophic fracture of a granite block subject to compression. Here we show that these measurements contain large inconsistencies with respect to the stated experimental procedure, including fractional neutron counts and strongly non Poissonian statistics
