mainstream scientists reading LENR papers and replying to them ?
What happened, did LENR become noticeable overnight ?
Not really. To my point of view, this is the result of a personal
quarrel between one of the authors of this paper (the director of the
Physics Department of the Rome University "La Sapienza") and WLT
proponent prof. Yogendra Srivastava [1], who got one of his
presentations at La Sapienza canceled at the last minute as a result, a
few months ago (in short, rude emails when he was asked to clarify
certain aspects of the Widom-Larsen theory, which backfired).
The conclusions of the paper linked in the OP might be correct (I don't
have the expertise needed to judge whether it is or not), but it
certainly doesn't look like the result of genuine interest to LENR by
mainstream scientists.
Just my 2 cents,
S.A.
[1] You might remember Srivastava from the presentation last March at
