Hi,

However, 1 g of hydrogen unexpectedly set off in lattice by the
volume effect of polarized x-rays
Where does this come from?
My fertile imagination. 8^)
It comes from the concept that deflated hydrogen is a magnetic
dipole, and thus the probability of its wave function collapse
(tunneling) into a nearby nucleus within a fully loaded lattice is
thus improved by a magnetic gradient,
...but wouldn't that gradient need to exist between the particle
and the
nucleus?
Any hydrogen in a fully loaded lattice is surrounded by atoms in all
quadrants. Further, even as charged particles, hydrogen can readily
tunnel the distances between lattice sites, this at thermal potential
energies of only mV involved. The lattice atoms are even closer, but
from a tunneling perspective, only to a neutral particle, because the
Coulomb barrier and the small size of the nearby nuclei make the
ordinary probability of transmutation events small. This barrier is
dropped with respect to deflated hydrogen, and enhanced by a magnetic
field gradient.
and very large such gradients
can be supplied by coherent polarized x-rays.
This I don't understand. Do you have a reference for the simple of
mind? ;)
Sorry, no reference handy. However, IIRC, typical x-rays can produce
magnetic gradients on the order of mT/cm. FEL lasers can produce
gradients on the order of a million times greater, or kT/cm. This
of course is major overkill. I think various CF experiments have
shown positive effects from magnetic *fields* on the order of 0.2 T.
My supposition, based on the deflated hydrogen hypothesis, is the it
was not the magnetic field, but rather the magnetic gradient that was
effective, and the gradients involved were likely less than .02 T/
cm^2 due to a lack of intent to maximize the gradient within the
cathode. The cathodes are typically placed between the poles of two
magnets, thereby essentially minimizing the gradient there. I
expect the gradient within the cathode can be made over 100 times
that 0.2 T/cm^2, using even permanent magnets, in experiments
designed to meet that objective. A FEL laser output in addition to
that would be additive, and has the additional benefits of being able
to tune the frequency of oscillating electrostatic and magnetic
fields deep within the lattice, and thus the possibility of tuning in
to a particle-lattice resonance.

justification for the concept is found here:
