Ø You need to add a few more dots to your analysis. High energy particles have also been detected using protium. See: F. Olofson and L. Holmlid, "Detection of MeV particles from ultra-dense protium Yes indeed. Thanks for the segue, as I was backing into to that detail. Protium is more controversial, and I do not want to make the Holmlid material sound overly complex. Many Rossi fanatics have a lot invested in Ni-H being based on nuclear fusion such as Rossi has suggested - in nickel transforming to copper, etc. The bottom line is this. Fast protons from dense hydrogen are NOT coming from fusion of protons. There is no such reaction but there are non-fusion alternatives. And Holmlid uses iron instead of nickel anyway. There is no suitable nuclear fusion reaction releasing fast protons, other than the two below - if we want to consider MCF to active in the Rossi hot cat. This dilemma would make the glow-tube or hot-cat something else besides conventional fusion – that is, if muons are responsible and fast protons are seen. The two other choices for explaining high energy protons are spallation, or the diproton reaction a.k.a. RPF (reversible proton fusion). RPF is my favorite, but since it involves no nuclear transmutation – only fast protons, it is technically not a fusion reaction at all, as defined by mainstream physics. However, it would be a good candidate for MCF where no deuterium was used, and where fast protons are documented.
