Thanks Axil, I keep that in mind. If the BEC could thermalize a gamma ray, that would be interesting for sure. Let me add a little more on this concept. Two effects that are related are Lamb shift and Rydberg_atoms. The possibility that a reduced radius could exist in the hydrogen s(n=1) state influenced by the electron sea of conduction electrons when embedded in a special metal lattice is demonstrated by analogy in other systems. You can look at Lamb shift as one model where the radius of the s(n=1) state is influenced by an electric field. Another perhaps better analogy is the effect on Rydberg atoms in external electric fields as best demonstrated in figures 4 and 5 on the wikipedia entry; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_atom. As the strength of the electric field increases, the E (energy level) of the Rydberg atom falls below the E ground state and above if the charge is reversed. That is directly related to the orbital radius changing under the influence of the field strength and polarity.
You can almost think of this like the raisin cake model, where the protons are raisins in a large charge background. The large electron charge background would act to squeeze and shrink the hydrogen's s(n=1) electron orbital, creating from the vantage point of other nuclei in the region, a neutrally charged particle. (ie a virtual neutron but with a more loosely coupled s(n=1) electron). And just as the other discussion thread suggested the virtual neutron can enter into the area where the shadowed proton can interact strongly with the Ni62 core. There by; the nucleosynthesis of Ni62 + (p screened) -> Cu63 could occur quite easily. And since the resulting energetic Cu63 is bound by the lattice a large portion of it's energy should be released to the lattice in the form of phonons and band state energy changes; (IR and heating) with no gamma!. The transition from the H s(n=1) to the Cu63 d(n=x) state might show or the H s(n=1) electron might ionize immediately once the proton is snapped into the core Ni. But it wouldn't carry away much energy since it's not actually part of a neutron. In otherwords this is speculation that there is a more robust and deeper level of electron screening in certain hydrated metals than has heretofore been known. Cheers!
