So if that little guy is a proton against the 10^8 -10^9 collective of other protons with thermal energy 25meV or so, that gets you in the ball park...
What are the conditions to make this so - H2 loading, cracks, a lattice over say a liquid (no-one uses Hg). Any other pointers? Still having trouble with what happens after the reaction because of the femto level it is free space compared to the lattice on the 0.1nm level and the thermal wavelength of the heavy nuclei can't be making them overlap to behave collectively.
