My first guess (in 1989) as to the mechanism for D fusion in a Pd fcc lattice was the creation of degeneracy of allowed D space positions through the use of a strong ambient magnetic field with appropriate resonances to help cause overlap of the D’s wave functions within a lattice cell. This overlap would increase the chance of cold fusion.
I also thought that 2 adjacent cells may be coupled quantum mechanically to allow conservation of angular momentum and spin in the instant of the fusion of 4 D’s into 2 He nuclei. On further thought 4 D’s may be involved in adjacent cells to produce Be-8 with greater conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy, consistent with a trend to increased entropy of entangled QM systems. I doubt this idea is consistent with TSC. I think I asked Akito—I think it was ICCF-19—how he handled spin and conservation of angular momentum? As I recall his response was, that was to be considered later. (I may have my Japanese presenters at the ICCF-19 mixed up in my memory.)
