Robin--
You may be right for a two body system and maybe an ionic crystal as well.
I was considering a coherent system of several bodies (maybe many bodies)
with the potential arrangement of parameters to achieve a lower energy
state, consistent with the second law. The many bodied wave function may
change to the lower energy state, if the conditions are correct, including
the appropriate resonant matches. I think that the varying electric and
magnetic fields that are engineered into some of the reactors may provide
the appropriate resonant conditions from time to time.
A Li 2 molecule was what I was thinking about. I doubt there is much data
for such a reaction. Also keep in mind that I am not considering that the
proton reacts. It is merely a catalyst much like a muon in a muon -
catalyzed - fusion of H.
Piantelli noted that there were some 22 different parameters that can affect
the LENR process. Some of those he had in mind were probably resonant
conditions.

Hi,
[snip]
However, If it could act like a muon, then it would seem possible that a
molecular form of Li(+3)-Li(+3) with 5 electrons and a H(-1) binding it
together may occur. In this case the H(-1) could cause a close approach of
the Li-6 nuclei and potentially raise the fusion probability of 2 LI-6
going to C-12 plus a H(-1) particle, which could then bind up more Li and
cause more fusions, in the same manner that muon catalyzed H fusion
happens.
The Coulomb barrier is a lot lower for 6Li + H => 3He + 4He than for 6Li +
6Li
=> 12C, so the former reaction is far more likely.
