Jones— I agree with your observation regarding multiple simultaneous events and the apparent lack of the involvement of single nuclei in a LENR event.
Magnetic coupling between multiple particles (nucleons and atomic and or plasmonic electrons or other magnetic dipoles) can allow sharing their angular momentum (spin energy) simultaneously without the production of energetic charged particles. This is a desirable characteristic of LENR, since it significantly reduces or eliminates hazardous radiation and nuclear activation associated with releases of neutrons. Mundane heat energy results in the small kinetic energy increases of many electrons and multiple nucleons in a crystal lattice.

No doubt this detail would be very useful to know, but is it even possible to know? Probably NOT as of now – since it makes a fundamental assumption which is not proved. That fundamental assumption is that energy release happens only once per atom – as in fusion. At first this seems to be a logical assumption, but fusion is not yet proved. If atoms produce lesser energy sequentially (still giving up mass) then the energy per atom would not be relevant since any atom could radiate excess energy several times or several million times during the run. At this point we do no need to be specific about the details of the alternative mechanism to show the logical error, but there are several recognized possibilities that actually make as much sense as fusion including a version of the Hotson theory. One particular operative mechanism which could change perceptions is related to the experimental findings which have been provided by Hora, Miley, Winterberg and Holmlid, et al. going back many years, which involve Bose-Einstein clustering. There is no apparent limitation on how many times an individual atom can give up mass-energy in the Coulomb explosion if and when they occur sequentially. To complicated matters – these experts suggest that the BEC cluster can act as an extremely efficient fusion target to be imploded with a laser. In that case the energy release per atom in the cluster would be less than the fusion of two deuterons – on average but the helium is thereafter unreactive so energy per atom would be useful to know. There are other alternative mechanisms for gain not involving fusion. These researchers also suggest or imply that clustering “alone” can produce significant excess energy with no fusion and/or a delayed nucleon annihilation event. Here, we find the sequential Coulomb explosion where atoms can participate many times. Moreover, the Coulomb explosion is presently a proved mechanism with a signature emission which has been documented via experiment. In contrast there is no documented fusion evidence from the Mizuno breakthrough - as of now. It is a mistake to assume that this proof is just around the corner. It may not happen. I predict it will not. If one is firmly convinced that deuterium fusion must be happening in the new Mizuno breakthrough due to the robustness of the output or their own per theory or patent - be prepared to jump- ship since there is NO report of helium which is an absolute requirement to prove that particular mechanism . Until that time that substantial helium-4 is detected – the only gainful outcomes we know of now from the published record are non-fusion and one of them relates to the ~630 eV emission from Coulomb explosions. This gain is probably nuclear related but also probably not related to nuclear fusion, unless fusion is time-shifted in the QM sense so as to replace a deficit. Jones
