Oh my. Thanks Jed for the note. I knew they both had passed but I never bothered to ask their relationship and just assumed. I always enjoyed reading their works... still do. When one adds in all of hints, pieces, and discoveries found in other areas of research, it really reads like they

I really enjoy thinking about this problem. There are materials which will absorb blue and violet light and send out 2 infrared photons per incident photon. I know Scott Chubb from way back was proposing a mechanism with a similar result where a gamma was absorbed in the periodic potential of

In that paper Schwinger refers to one of his earlier papers. I believe this paper he presented at the first CF conference is based on it: https://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/SchwingerJnuclearene.pdf In it he puts forward a rough mathematical argument (which I don't pretend to understand) as to why

The other day Francesco Celani and his friend asked me if I know of any papers that discuss the role of H in the bulk Pd cold fusion. Can H enhance the reaction? Is there an H-D reaction? I said I don't recall any papers like that. It turns out they already found one, which I added to the library:
