That is a QM effect which does not scale up. The same could be said for much of LENR. In addition, it would seem that the Lawson criterion of hot plasma fusion would also apply, in a modified (reworded) way to the new and improved semantics for lattice enhanced but no longer "cold" fusion. i.e. when we observe effective temperature and pressure on the femtoscale. As for input - an external electron beam of hot fusion could be modeled as internal k-shell or l-shell resonant electron. Here is the Wiki site for Lawson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawson_criterion IOW - one needs only to reduce the geometry of the active site to its actual minimal dimension to see the similarity to plasma fusion, except for one big distinction.. The lack of gamma radiation remains the main difference between hot and (formerly) cold -- and this is where the lattice itself comes into play. We have to assume that Hagelstein got that part right, or close - and that the lattice carries away most of the downshifted excess instead of gamma radiation. With that addition, the old "cold fusion" becomes the new QM-lattice-fusion. It never was cold, was it?
