As you note, ultracold neutrons are an old and respected niche of physics - and these known cold neutrons are easily detectable and bear not the slightest resemblance to the W-L concoction – which IMHO is almost in the category of brain-dead. How can low energy be anything other than ultra-cold?

Eric, The website you cite has data for ultracold neutrons (energy ~300 neV.) Could any LENR experiment ever produce such cold neutrons? Even at just room temp, thermal neutrons possess energy of ~30 meV. Wouldn't ultracold neutrons be a tiny part of the Boltzman distribution? The thermal

Eric, If LENR neutrons are indeed generated as proposed by W-L, almost all will be in the thermal range - quite a low momentum by fusion standards. I believe some experimenters have detected escaping neutrons. I do not know whether their measurements are valid. If they are, we still have to
