I suppose He4 is a relatively tough little nut to crack, but it seems to happen more often than not when D's fuse. Isn't that the reason that T or He3 tend to remain alive after a free space event? COM will always be achieved when two D's collide and remain stuck together. COE suggests that they retain the amount of energy required to break apart immediately unless some of the fusion energy is released. I can not think of a better trick to pull off than for a nearby electro magnetically coupled "friend" to take away a portion of it. In hot fusion there is no one nearby to help out most of the time. I am suggesting that perhaps on those rare occasions when the He4 survives that a helper is close by. In LENR help is around the corner in most cases due to close quarters.

Both. The momentum is shared equally between both nuclei, i.e. one is the opposite of the other, so that the sum is zero, in the CM frame. The energy is shared in inverse proportion to the masses of the nuclei. I.e. If 108Pd is the spectator nucleus, then it gets 4/(4+108) of the energy, and the 4He gets 108/(4+108) of the energy. I.e. the lighter nucleus gets the lion's share. >We have been seeking a process that is able to extract the relatively large energy of the excited helium nucleus in a slower than normal manner. I suppose that I refer to normal as being what is seen in high energy physics as compared to LENR. Good luck! ;) > >It seems likely that nearby Coulomb coupled nuclei or other particles would be able to suck up some of the spare energy thereby preventing the destruction of the He4. The 4He is in no danger of being destroyed. It's a very tough little nut! ;) [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
