Abstract: | Cardone et al. F. Cardone, R. Mignani, A. Petrucci, Phys. Lett. A 373 (2009) 1956] claim that cavitation speeds up radioactive decay of 228Th dissolved in water. The experimental evidence they presented was criticized by Ericsson et al. G. Ericsson, S. Pomp, H. Sjöstrand, E. Traneus, Phys. Lett. A 373 (2009) 3795]. This Comment focuses on a presumably-ignored trivial effect that might be responsible for the reported experimental results. It also contains suggestions for improving the quality of future investigations. |
