Jones— Wikipedia’s discussion of “muonium” is pertinent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muonium
Level crossing resonance (LCR) in resonant oscillators reveals a certain prescription for assuring a nuclear reaction. See the following link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance for the way resonant conditions can co ncentrate vibratory energy—phonic energy in a metallic lattice and nuclear spin energy in a sub -atomic system. One nice thing with modern electronics Is the ability to modify LCR’S in nuclei as well as lattice phonic resonances with a variable magnetic field of a laser and add energy to the oscillating system, at a fixed frequency (also EM input energy) as is accomplished in NMR machines, to achieve very good resonance coupling. The coherent system will react to shift energy from higher potential to lower potential energy. I consider this is what happens in the Holmlid’s laser induced LENR reactions. The sub-paragraphs for orbital resonance and atomic, particle, and molecular resonance are conceptually linked together IMHO. >From your first reference: “The way any physical system changes with time can, in theory, be predicted from the quantum states of its particles. Most reactions involve far too many particles for this to be practical, but Truhlar says the hydrogen reaction was just simple enough.” This is a key factor in LENR and quantitative theory for LENR. Peter Hagelstein etal. have addressed this coupling in a series of papers from 2011 with a current paper bringing the coupling theory closer to a practical application IMHO.

We report the reaction rate of 4.1H with 1H2 to produce 4.1H1H + 1H at 295 to 500 kelvin. The experimental rate constants are compared with the predictions of accurate quantum-mechanical dynamics calculations carried out on an accurate Born-Huang potential energy surface….” One thought which comes to mind for an immediate use of this finding - is that a tank of compressed helium could be modified to become a muon detector, based on the decay of muonic helium. This would depend on the characteristic decay energy which should be unique (but I do not know the exact details). If this characteristic emission were to be a soft x-ray (as suspected) then the design should be based on a carbon fiber tank which is more transparent to x-rays than steel. Air Venturi makes a Carbon Fiber Tank, approved to 4500 psi, DOT-approved - Carbon fiber filament wound over aluminum bladder. This should work fine for helium, allowing one to detect muons with a simple x-ray detector (or – even easier – use film).
