Re: [Vo]:LENR through light
Robin, I can quickly suggest a couple of examples where e-m field momentum is concentrated - in a very counter-intuitive way. First, look at the references in the recent Vortex thread - [Vo]:Momentum superkicks from monochromatic e-m fields http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg87201.html Second, look at section 21-3 (Two kinds of momentum) of Vol.3 of Feynman's Physics Lectures at URL: http://www.peaceone.net/basic/Feynman/V3%20Ch21.pdf Also, you might want to google superoscillations. One good reference is - Yield--Optimized Superoscillations http://arxiv.org/abs/1209.6572 I hope to revisit this topic next week if time permits.

Re: [Vo]:LENR through light
In electrodynamics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamics, *circular polarization*[1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_polarization#cite_note-1of an electromagnetic wave http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_wave is a polarizationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(waves)in which the electric field of the passing wave does not change strength but only changes direction in a rotary manner. Circular polarization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_polarization In electrodynamics the strength and direction of an electric fieldhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_fieldis defined by what is called an electric field vector http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_field_vector. In the case of a circularly polarized wave, as seen in the accompanying animation, the tip of the electric field vectorhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_vector, at a given point in space, describes a circle as time progresses. If the wave is frozen in time, the electric field vector of the wave describes a helix along the direction of propagation. Circular polarization is a limiting casehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_caseof the more general condition of elliptical polarization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_polarization. The other special case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_case is the easier-to-understand linear polarizationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_polarization . The phenomenon of polarization arises as a consequence of the fact that light http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation behaves as a two-dimensional transverse wavehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_wave#Explanation . The magnetic field vector is pointed in the direction of propagation of the light wave and emanates from a really small center of the circular light wave. - distortion of circular polarization of light waves result in anapole magnetic monopoles, where the magnetic field derives from the light wave comeing from a POINT. *http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/**papers/1204/1204.3564.pdf*http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1204/1204.3564.pdf *Half-solitons in a polariton quantum fluid behave like magnetic monopoles* One kind of spin-phase topological defects already reported in polariton quantum fluids are the so-called half-vortices23,24. Different from integer quantized vortices in scalar fluids where the phase winds from zero to 2p when going around the vortex core25, half vortices present a simultaneous rotation of p of both the phase and the polarisation angle around their core. These objects have been recently predicted to behave like monopoles26, but experiments have so far reported half-vortices pinned to local inhomogeneities of the sample24, preventing any probing of the monopole physics. In this work we report the generation of a different kind of vectorial topological excitation in a flowing polariton condensate, oblique dark half-solitons. They are characterised by a notch in the polariton density of the fluid, and a simultaneous phase and polarisation rotation of p 2 in the condensate wavefunction across the soliton27 (as opposed to a phase jump of p for dark solitons in scalar condensates28). This is manifested in the *circular polarisation basis* as a deep notch present in only one polarisation component. We map the polarisation and phase of these objects evidencing their complex spin structure, and we show that they are indeed accelerated by the action of the intrinsic effective magnetic field present in our microcavities, thus behaving as magnetic monopoles . * Any field that is concentrated into point source has extreme strength.*

Re: [Vo]:LENR through light
In a polariton based hot spot, the electrons are part of a dipole where the hole makes the electron a boson. Therefore *unlimited numbers *of electrons can populate a hot spot. The electrons combine with light and lose weight. They can weight as little as 20 micro electron volts. These low mass polaritons will become entangled and form a high temperature BEC. When the Hot spot becomes mobile and forms a polariton bullet, these boson connected electrons lose their holes and the electrons leave the hotspot repelled by the coulomb force.. Only light remains and this light based soliton spin structure may have been observed in many LENR experiments as monopoles. As I posted elsewhere, the magnetic field of this monopole comes from a POINT in the center of a EMF current ring making it extremely concentrated and very powerful. This energy focusing is what enables energy levels to reach high enough power levels for nuclear disruption to occur.

[Vo]:LENR through light
How do the intense electric fields arise that are responsible for cooper pair formation of protons in LENR via the Shukla-Eliasson effect? You don’t need electron concentration to produce strong electric fields. Intense Light concentration will also produce a proportionately large electric field. Light intensity at 10^^12 (watts/cm2) produces a strong Electric field at (10^^9) Volts/meter. Reference: See Page 3, chapter 2. - Basic concepts of nonlinear optics on table 1 in http://www.mitr.p.lodz.pl/evu/lectures/Vauthey.pdf Introduction to nonlinear optical spectroscopic techniques for investigating ultrafast processes In conclusion, a soliton of intense super-fluidic and coherent light will form cooper pairs of protons in the close proximity of the light based soliton. The Ni/H reactor may be acting as a polariton laser turned in on itself in a dark mode producing long lived, coherent, and stable Light based solitons in a zero loss mode. Regarding Ed Storms quote: “Many explanations have been proposed that are based on imagined ways energy could accumulate in sufficient amount in the chemical lattice to overcome the Coulomb barrier, either directly or as result of neutron formation. These processes also occasionally involve accumulation of extra electrons between the hydrogen nuclei as another way to hide the barrier. These suggestions ignore the severe limitations a chemical lattice imposes on energy accumulation and electron structure. Some proposed processes even ignore obvious conflicts with what has been observed. Consequently, none have been useful in directing future research or have achieved universal acceptance.” Both huge magnetic and electric fields can be generated using light without the handicap of coulomb repulsion limiting the power levels achievable in these EM fields.

Re: [Vo]:LENR through light
If the energy of the light wave where compressed into a soliton of 1 nanometer in diameter carrying a power density of 100 terawatts/cm2(highest observed nanoplasmonic hot spot power density) would that not compress the electric field of the light wave localized in the hot spot. For example, the magnetic component of the light wave is proportional to the electric component. As has been demonstrated in the DGT reactor, the magnetic field is 1.6t at 20 cms. If this magnetic field is produce by a soliton 1 nanometer in diameter, would not the magnetic field coming out of the soliton be 10 to the 16th power tesla. I would expect that the electric field component of the light wave would be amplified in like proportions. Thought?
