The spacing of the nucleons is 1.36 fermi meters. That's twice their radii.
This is a constant as the density of the nucleus is constant. The reciprocal
of this spacing is the nuclear wave number. The wave number and the elastic
constant give a sonic velocity of 1,094,000 meters per second in the structure.
That's my constant and I am sticking to it. It is also the cold fusion
velocity.

Jones--
The Li-6 loves neutrons and will readily change to Li-7, if one is
nearby. It may be that the Li-6 acts as a catalyst to combine the charge of a
proton and an electron to form a neutron and He-5, which in turn gives up
another neutron and gets to He-4. The neutrons can then combine with most
anything to form an isotope up to Ni-62 with loss of mass along the way. It
will be interesting to see what the isotopic analysis of Parkhomov's ash is.
It is being evaluated currently. We may see some Si-28 coming from Al-27
transmutation via the short-lived Al-28 isotope.
Also, in thinking about the geometrical stability of the Li-7 and the
lack of the stability of Li-6. I assume you envision a concentrated point
charge associated with the protons with respect to the geometry.
I for one do not think there is a segregation of charge within the
nucleus, but that the charge is spread throughout the nucleus so as to
eliminate discontinuities at a 0 distance. Thus, variation in charge density
within a nucleus is nil. However the charge density shape can be modified by
the approach of other charges or electric or magnetic fields. That is what
happens when Li-6 is hit with a gamma which causes it to breakup or activate to
a higher energy state--an isomer with an unstable charge density configuration.

Th e following is overly simplistic, but also
surprisingly intuitive for a particular hypothesis , so it is
worth the effort to try to get down an
explanation for the Rossi/Parkhomov effect
one
containing less than a thousand words , by
using a few images
Here is an image of the Li-7 nucleus . Keep in mind the single
tenet that like - charges repel. In a small
nucleus, and ignoring QM for a moment in favor of macro geometrical
restraints this means that nesting of nucleons
becomes complicated
since in the case of
3 protons , they must be kept
apart by neutrons.
http://www.lnhatom.com/Lithium%207.jpg
To oversimplify the point which will be made below :
t he red balls are the 3 protons, and they do not touch each other
because the 4 neutrons form a tetrahedron which effectively separates
them , and a tetrahedron is an especially stable
geometry . Therefor e, this isotope
should be more stable than one where like charges have
the possibility of fleeting contact. In fact, almost 93% of natural
lithium is this particular isotope: Li7 despite this
isotope being a drip line anomaly in itself .
That stable tetrahedral nesting arrangement
at the core of Li7 is not the case with lithium-6 however
; and this nucleus becomes unstable ,
particularly when stressed by incursion of positive charge (such as by
the approach of a proton). That is because the only
stable geometry which we can visualize for Li6
is to have a near- planar hexagonal arrangement
of alternating neutrons and protons, arranged somewhat like a benzene ring
, which is not sp h erical and not stable wrt the
strong force :
https://dlnmh9ip6v2uc.cloudfront.net/assets/0/4/e/8/2/519fa09dce395f8b08000000.png
Therefore , a planar structure like the one above, when
it is located inside orbiting electrons is itself unstable, and the
natural charge-equalizing tendency is for the
hexagonal plane to revert to something more compact,
like a sphere. Therefore on occasion , and as
several papers are now suggesting, the lithium-6 nucleus
temporarily takes the form of 3 deuterons , arranged in the X,Y
& Z axes where the neutrons of each deuteron are in contact.
This is where Efimov state comes into play.
Now the visual image of greatest impact is to
imagine the 3 deuterons expressing the Efimov Halo Effect
, which is state of oscillating
balance and "Russian nesting dolls" geometry as predicted by
Efimov. This state sh ould function like a pump
, among other possibilities . But a pump for
what?
For those who suspect that the Dirac sea, as expressed in Don Hotsons
many papers, is accessible as a point source, then one suggestion is that the
Li6 nucleus can act like a pump for something which is in
trinsic to the Dirac sea
and since epos are ruled out
by the lack of observed radiation, then that something is
most likely spin , or a subset like
angular momentum, or a quantum of spin : a Dirac
spinor, or something alon g those lines.
Thus the Li6 nucleus would be the a gateway for spin energy
coupling especially at a temperature where the
3-deuteron geometry is favored. This temperature seems to be in the
range of 1400K in the dogbone.
This hypothesis suggests that the key to the excess heat in
dogbone-type devices is lithium-6. The thermal anomaly will be
maximized by enrichment in the isotope, and should go away with all
Li7.
Thus , this hypothesis , despite being
complicated in detail - is easily falsifiable , unlike mo
st of the other explanations floating around ,
which generally fail due to the lack of observable high energy
radiation.
