A few additions and improvements. The Modus Operandi List
Anyone approaching Ni-H from a theoretical perspective may benefit from a list of possible "gainful routes" which are either non-nuclear, "new-nuclear", supra-chemical, or a hybrid. Many of these processes can overlap or can be applied partially with others. All of the new physics reactions can be augmented (screened) by deflated electrons (Heffner) or lochons (Meulenberg). In addition, deflated electrons or lochons can be involved in supra-chemical reactions. 1) Nickel-to-copper "new-nuclear" with little or no radioactivity. This comes under 'new' because all known transmutations of nickel to copper at the kW level would leave deadly levels of radioactivity. 2) H+H --> D "new-nuclear" comes under 'new' because all known fusion of hydrogen to deuterium involve a positron, which is not seen. 3) W&L ultra low momentum neutron. Clearly comes under 'new' but the lack of predicted radioactivity makes it seem unlikely for Rossi. There are several 'virtual neutron' hypotheses which are similar. 4) Multibody H reactions: H+H+H+H etc. This is new physics and could explain helium or other light elements if they are discovered. 5) Cavity QED "only". Hydrogen enters Casimir cavity, gains energy from ZPE. No ash. 6) Cavity QED with nuclear makeup. Essentially these two involve asymmetric chemistry, the later leading to nuclear reaction which are stimulated by a prior energy deficit, and thus no residual radioactivity. 7) Mills' hydrino 8) "Antenna" for dark energy - hydrogen is changed (IRH), or contained, in such a way in nanopores that it acts like an antenna for dark energy. This can overlap with 5,6 9) "Antenna" for neutrinos - hydrogen is changed or contained in such a way that it acts like an antenna for neutrino interaction. 10) Ballotechnic. Inner orbital chemistry, with or without a nuclear makeup reaction. Can be similar to 5,6 11) Dirac "sea of negative energy" ... in conjunction with 5,6,8 or 9. If UV radiation in the range of 6.8 eV is documented, this one will be important. 12) Shoulders' EVO. Not sure exactly how this could be applied to Rossi. 13) This floor is always missing 14) "Quark Soup" - a quark-level reorganization of IRH 15) The Brightsen model of "antimatter clusters" within the H nucleus. 16) Some variation of the quantum gravity explanation in several papers on Rossi's blog A work-in-progress
