Awkshully, Mark - you covered the H+H situation too, back in Jan: http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg42057.html
but it bears repeating, since Dr Brown did comment directly to Rossi. The important things which Julian misses IMHO - and which makes this energetic reaction both NON-fusion, energetic and sub-nuclear - is the Nyman paper: http://dipole.se/ .... which explains how the probability of a strong force interaction becomes far more likely than ever suspected - but since P+P fusion is forbidden at low energy - we must resort to the Dirac alternative for gain, which is the epo-field disruption by the strong force - resulting in 6.8 eV photons. This is the excess heat of the Rossi reaction IMO. Fortunately, the hypothesis is falsifiable. Jones Julian Brown January 27th, Congratulations Mr Rossi. You may have saved the planet. The anomaly has a relatively simple explanation: Effective potential for H in Ni and Pd is very flat because of surrounding countercharge, so ground state of H has gaussian width of about 0.3 Angstrom. H-omega transition to 1st excited state in harmonic well is about 50 meV (8 THz). This frequency is not attenuated over lattice cell dimensions, so transitions are unscreened. Ground->excited -- exited->ground interaction between neighbours causes first excited doublet of two H to mix into bonding and anti-bonding states. Splitting, large because of 0.3A width, may be greater than h-omega, so bonding state is actually true ground state. Dipole attraction exactly cancels monopole repulsion at very short H-H distances. Gaussian tail from neighbouring cell can overlap with other H without any exponential die-off, resulting in nuclear contact and some sort of p+p reaction. Multisite coherence forbids emission of short wave quanta, so normal n,p, gamma channels are forbidden. See http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0703715 for the details. From: Mark Iverson No, the one in your post was: "H-H dipole interactions in fcc metals" which I think has been mentioned on vortex a few times. What they have in common is the mind of J.S.Brown. -Mark From: Axil Axil I beleive that this reference is the same as in my post "the dipole constrant" On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 9:39 PM, Mark Iverson <markiver...@charter.net> wrote: FYI: "Enhanced low energy fusion rate in palladium (Pd) due to vibrational deuteron dipole-dipole interactions and associated resonant tunneling that over-cancels the Jastrow factor between deuteron pair wavefunctions" Abstract We show that interstitial hydrogen nucleii on a metallic lattice are strongly coupled to their near neighbours by the unscreened electromagnetic field mediating transitions between low-lying states. We then show that in almost-stoichiometric PdD clusters, in which most interstitial sites are occupied by a deuteron, certain specific superpositions of many-site product states exist that are lower in energy than the single-site ground state, suggesting the existence of a new low temperature phase. The modified behaviour of the two-particle wavefunction at small separations is investigated and preliminary results suggesting an over-canceling of the effective Coulomb barrier are presented.
