Andrea Rossi is a fan of Dan Cook and recommends his book: http://www.amazon.com/Models-Atomic-Nucleus-Unification-Nucleons/dp/3642147364(~$70)
And Don Wicher writes at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ECat.LENR/ : Quote: In addition to his book which Rossi thinks so highly of Norman Cook is a very active player in the continuing development of a theoretical basis for LENR. He presented a paper at ICCF 18 and had two significant Poster Papers on display. One of the references on a Poster Paper indicates he is also working with Carpinteri. This is the link to the paper that was presented. It reports results of a simulation that seems to accurately predict experimental ash data. Thats a first IMO. https://mospace.umsystem.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10355/36817/SimulationNuclearTransmutationPresentation.pdf?sequence=2 Here are links to the two Poster Papers https://mospace.umsystem.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10355/36827/MagneticForceActingNucleons.pdf?sequence=1 https://mospace.umsystem.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10355/36539/QuantumNucleodynamicsAbstract.pdf?sequence=1 Note that this last Poster Paper has the reference to a forthcoming paper indicating a collaboration with Carpenteri.
