Axil, If LENR is real, then certainly some energy concentration is occuring via some unexpected pathway. Fano resonance looks promising.
If the modelling is too sophisticated, few (if any) will even try to understand it. We need a very simple model that is not too esoteric and intimidating -- otherwise, only experimental success will be convincing.
