See: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/BiberianJPjcondensedx.pdf There is an interesting paper by Accomazzi on binuclear hydrogen (hydrogen-like helium) which Bob Cook and anyone looking for a proton-paring scenario can appreciate. Together with Mills and Holmlid, this is appealing an one can cherry-pick. Quote: “Binuclear atoms are metastable configurations in which two nuclei are held together by the electronic energy of the orbiting electrons in an atomic-like configuration. The hydrogen– hydrogen helium-like Binuclear atom (H+H+)2e- is explicitly predicted to exist, although the activation energy required for its formation ( 30 eV) is extremely high for ordinary chemistry, so that it can only be formed under very special conditions such as the ones occurring inside a dense collisional cascade. The (H+H+)2e-Binuclear atom is predicted to be metastable with a remarkably high activation energy (of several electron volts) for its dissociation. In the (H+H+)2e-Binuclear atom, the electronic energy is not a constant of motion and is coupled with the nuclear kinetic energy… The first graph is telling and has been replicated apparently
