Hi Hohlraum,
You raise some interesting points related to bound electrons.
I have wished for some time that Ken Shoulders would focus more on
LENR effects, and on prototype energy conversion devices. OTOH,
I'm not sure the two ideas (Ken's and this Widom paper) are as far
apart as you are making them out to be.

BTW I like the moniker "Hohlraum" in the context of LENR, having
gotten interested in the whole field of lower energy fusion, due
to the work of Winterberg and ICF Hohlraums thirty years ago
For those who are aren't muttersprachers - A hohlraum (cavity) is
the German word used in inertial fusion for a small metal cylinder
or container - which holds an ICF capsule or gas and is usually
imploded by external energy.
In fact, some forms of LENR have all the appearance of the
macro-hohlraum configuration - reduced to micro-size.

Soured milk, IMO. Neither this nor the later companion paper:
http://www.arxiv.org/PS_cache/cond-mat/pdf/0509/0509269.pdf
account for the observed producton of tritium or other
transmutations. Also, the micrographs of the palladium surface
indicate a violent reaction occurs just below the surface of the
metal which is also inconsistent with the theory presented.
These ideas:

are more in keeping with observations.
