Yes, specifically (p.5):
The AEH provides a possible explanation for the varied effectiveness
of the alpha, beta, and gamma
phases of CF loading. I suggest that in the initial loading phase the
adsorbed hydrogen is, as
suggested by others, alternately in H and H+ form, but primarily in H+
form.
Another form should be considered: the H2 or D2 molecular form (or
DH). There is evidence for fusion taking place in steps of two or
four in atomic number in transmutations.
Fools like me rush in to suggest that D2 is present at the surface of
the lattice, and must dissociate as it enters the lattice, but that
dissociation may not be abrupt, but may increase rapidly with depth.
It would be the D2 molecular form that would form a Bose-Einstein
condensate with another D2 molecule, the tetrahedral arrangement of
the two molecules being the most efficient packing in cubic
confinement. As Takahashi predicts that the tetrahedral arrangement
will fuse 100% within a femtosecond, should it form, the fusion rate
may be directly that of the occurrence of double-molecular
confinement in a single lattice cell. I.e., rare. It seems that this
would predict many of the known phenomena: surface effect, no gammas,
no neutrons except from secondary reactions due the hot alphas
generated, amplification of the effect due to departure from
equilibrium conditions (which would create movement of deuterium in
the lattice). If the depth into the lattice which is optimal for
fusion is sufficient, the apparently lower energy of the detected
alphas than 23.8 MeV could be explained by normal losses to the
lattice as occur with any charged particle radiation, the lattice at
that point would be fully loaded palladium deuteride, the mean path
length before thermalization would be very short. The total energy
ending up as heat would be the full 23.8 MeV/He4, except for the
existence of other reactions with different Q value.
