Abstract

In this short note we would like to provide some useful remarks on our previous work about the piezonuclear decay of Thorium and in general about the methods and protocols that we used in the experiments on piezonuclear reactions. The purpose of these remarks is to highlight the critical points of the experiments and equipment in order to design future experiments that may obtain positive evidences or that can be as more comparable to previous ones as possible.
