Hello Vorts: See below for confirmation from YE Kim that the formation of a BEC at room temperature gives his LENR theory a leg up.
Kevin O'Malley <kevmol...@gmail.com> 1:22 PM (4 hours ago) to yekim, ayandas, pkb Hello Dr. Kim. I left you a voicemail regarding this. Does the formation of a BEC at room temperature make your theory of Deuteron Fusion more viable? Wasn't the main criticism of your theory that BECs couldn't form at higher temperatures? Y. E.

McEuen, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, and approved December 21, 2012 (received for review June 28, 2012) Abstract A spatial potential trap is formed in a 6.0-μm Al(Ga)N nanowire by varying the Al composition along its length during epitaxial growth. The polariton emission characteristics of a dielectric microcavity with the single nanowire embedded in-plane have been studied at room temperature. Excitation is provided at the Al(Ga)N end of the nanowire, and polariton emission is observed from the lowest bandgap GaN region within the potential trap. Comparison of the results with those measured in an identical microcavity with a uniform GaN nanowire and having an identical exciton–photon detuning suggests evaporative cooling of the polaritons as they are transported into the trap in the Al(Ga)N nanowire. Measurement of the spectral characteristics of the polariton emission, their momentum distribution, first-order spatial coherence, and time-resolved measurements of polariton cooling provides strong evidence of the formation of a near-equilibrium Bose–Einstein condensate in the GaN region of the nanowire at room temperature. In contrast, the condensate formed in the uniform GaN nanowire–dielectric microcavity without the spatial potential trap is only in self-equilibrium.

Reply Reply to all Forward Kim, Yeong E 5:24 PM (32 minutes ago) to me, ayandas, pkb Hi, Kevin,**** Yes, the formation of a BEC of deuterons (or other Bose nuclei) makes my theory more viable.**** ** ** The claim, made by some that BECs could not form at room temperatures, was based on an inconclusive conjecture**** which assumes that the Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB ) velocity distribution applies for deuterons in a metal.**** This conjecture was not based on any theories nor on any experimentally observed facts.**** The MB velocity distribution is for an ideal gas containing non-interacting particles.**** There are no justifications to assume the MB velocity distribution for deuterons in a metal.**** The published paper by Dasa, et al. quoted below indicates that the conjecture is not justified.**** ** ** I have stated at seminars and conferences (in the proceedings) that**** **** “The BEC formation of deuterons in metal at room temperatures depends on the velocity distribution**** of deuterons in metal at room temperatures. The velocity distribution of deuterons in metal has not**** determined by theories nor by experiments and is not expected to be the MB distribution”**** ** ** The published paper by Dasa, et al. supports the above statement.**** Yeong**** ** ** *keSent:* Friday, February 08, 2013 4:22 PM *To:* Kim, Yeong E *Cc:* ayan...@umich.edu; p...@umich.edu *Subject:* Bose Einstein Condensate formed at Room Temperature****
