Perhaps this has already been discussed on Vortex-l, but a quick search yielded the following paper -
"Formation of Cooper pairs in quantum oscillations of electrons in plasma" http://arxiv.org/abs/0902.4596 - I have only briefly perused it, but if it's correct, it may point out some connections of high-temp Cooper-pairing, plasmons, and anomalous fusion. Some other papers by the author also address this issue: http://arxiv.org/find/physics/1/au:+Dvornikov_M/0/1/0/all/0/1 Any opinions on this series of papers? - Lou Pagnucco Axil Axil wrote: > When protons enter a micro cavity, they rattle and dance around it for a > long, long time.
