No Axil, you make assumptions that are not true. First, the
distribution on the surface was uneven with the transmuted element
being in only a few spots. Second, the cracks would start at the
surface and penetrate only a short distance, this being the nature of
strain induced cracks.
Because the target was only near the surface, the product would have
to be near the surface as well. The CaO was too far away from the
surface (400 Å) to have any effect on the electronic conditions at the
surface. The failure of MgO is a side issue because we have no idea
if the other conditions were identical. Y2O3 was found to work. Other
oxides were not tried.

The transmutation was no more than 10 Nm below the surface of the Pd/
D2 interface and the distribution of transmutation was even. Cracks
would cause deeper penetration of the interface layer and be
concentrated in Hot Spots.

The referenced experiment takes note that substitution of magnesium
oxide for calcium oxide removes transmutation.
An oxide layer will capture hydrogen and transform CaO to Ca(OH)2.
This compound modified Ca compound has an increased dielectric value
over Mg(OH)2.
The cracks posit is insensitive to a change in the dielectric
properties of the insolating layer and should produce transmutation
regardless, but it does not.

Let me add my speculation to the collection of explanations sure to
follow. I propose the CaO layer forces the thin Pd layer to form
cracks when D is added to the Pd, which creates the NAE in which the
transmutation reaction occurs. The D-D fusion reaction also takes
place in the crack and the mechanism releasing energy from this
reaction also releases mass-energy from the transmutation reaction.
You heard it first here. The proof will come later.

OBSERVATION OF NUCLEAR TRANSMUTATION REACTIONS INDUCED BY D2 GAS
PERMEATION THROUGH PD COMPLEXES
Excerpt:
At present the authors do not have definite explanation for the
role of the CaO layers. We cannot perfectly exclude out the
possibility that CaO layers modified the electronic state of top Pd
layer.
This experiment might well demonstrate the nanoplasmonic cause of
LENR.
The nanoscopic layer of calcium oxide will confine EMF concentrated
by 70C heat photons in the transition region between the metallic
conductive layer of Pd and the dielectric layer of CaO.
This EMF confinement will produce strong magnetic fields at the
surface of the Pd causing transmutation of elements Ba, Cs, Sr into
elements with higher atomic numbers through hydrogen fusion as
follows: Cs into Pr, Sr into Mo, and Ba into Sm.
The surface of the Pd in the interface layer with the deuterium
should be tested for a magnetic field using Hall Nano probes to
verify the existence of anomalous electromagnetic conditions at the
Pd to D2 interface layer.
Merry Christmas to all
