Joshua, I believe, Zawodny does explain the creation of ULM neutrons through the plasmonic creation of heavy electrons. See (slide 16) of http://newenergytimes.com/v2/news/2011/36/2010-Zawodny-AviationUnleashed.pdf
I am unsure as to whether Zawodny is correct, but page 9 of "INTENSE FOCUSING OF LIGHT USING METALS" (-JB Pendry) -- http://www.cmth.ph.ic.ac.uk/photonics/Newphotonics/pdf/pendry_crete.pdf -- states that by super-focusing of E-M fields and "by confining electrons to thin wires we have enhanced their mass by four orders of magnitude so that they are now as heavy as nitrogen atoms!" This is far beyond 780 KeV - and even greater effective mass increases are possible. For sure, though, these electron wave functions are delocalized, but are you sure that such massive pseudo-particles (heavy electrons) cannot donate some of their mass-energy to create ULM neutrons? or possibly provide enhanced screening?
