In the W.L. case, I'd like to know where the value for the effective mass of the electron, above ~2.6, is calculated to be enough for catalyzed fusion. Also, why does breaking Born Oppenheimer approximation means that using a perturbative expansion around the W bosons is allowed, given that its

Something interesting regarding these papers, it is that the researchers that propose the theories that apparently fits better the experiments rarely cites each other. It seems there is no serious attempt to come up with a common basis for the LENR phenomena. 2011/12/6 Daniel Rocha

At the end of the day, it is quantum mechanics that is the operative principle behind LENR. For laymen, quantum mechanics (QM) is very hard to understand; even Einstein had trouble with it. Experimenting with QM is even more difficult. If you look at results, they go away or become invalid.
