The H-D reaction does have a gamma signature in hot fusion. If I read it correctly, in a lattice, Schwinger postulated that it does not because the particles are slow moving. However I think this may depend on the actual mechanism behind "tunneling". If tunneling involves temporarily borrowing sufficient energy from the ZPE to overcome the barrier, then the particles may not be slow moving at all, at the moment of fusion, depending on just how much kinetic energy they temporarily acquired. There would be a threshold amount required to overcome the barrier, but anything in excess thereof would remain as kinetic energy. > - one point of the paper seems to be that a cold fusion reaction without > gammas is by default H-D. > > > Regards, Robin van Spaandonk <mixent...@aussiebroadband.com.au>
