Hi Jones,
Here's FYI of something similar, Jones, et al.
When I was young and dumber I knew of a Dr. Cameron Jones who no longer
works at Swinburne Uni. where he diluted colloidal gold to the proper
density to get the correct spacing that entertained a plasmon resonance
when painted on a surface.
He painted CD ROMs with this gold-dot 'plasmonic surface' and the CD
diode read laser plasmon information as visual image alterations. The
Doctor suggested the skew indicated the plasmon resonance had a
knowledge of the architecture of the image encoded in the CD dot-track.
But there /were /echos of other dot-tracks evident in the images I saw
posted. The technique does make and detect plasmon resonance.
In the 90-s. Then he retired from academics to run the Blue Velvet
night club.

The possibility of an energy anomaly based on gold plasmons from

Gold nanoparticle colloids are available at remarkably low prices due to
growing use as cure-all dietary supplements.
Obviously you don’t get much gold for $20 bucks on Amazon but your don’t
need much.
A drop of Pure Nano Colloidal Gold in water - 2oz Bottle 240ppm .999
Gold nanoparticles (on Amazon) would be interesting when irradiated by
one or more small lasers.
Add a little heavy water to the colloid and who knows what will turn
up? This could happen on a microscope slide for instance – if you want
a close up view.

Yes, the beats in the Hagelstein, Letts, and Cravens experiment are
presumably formed by this process. A thin gold film was deposited on
the cathode surface and the effect was not observed without the thin
gold film.
Has it been ruled out that the energy anomaly is not partly or solely
due to plasmon formation alone ?
It is believed that the thin gold went down as tiny islands that were
responsible for the nonlinearity needed to form the beats.
If the "islands" were in the size range of 2-12 nm, then the Casimir
effect could come into play. The so-called "Wood's Anomalies" have been
known for a century in various forms - and this plasmon anomaly of
Hagelstein et al could be related to that.

IOW there is a possibility of actual energy gain from plasmon radiation
alone which may or may not also have a nuclear effect as a secondary
reaction when deuterium is present.
