RE: [Vo]:Hydrogen may not be needed - Spitaleri and others explain Lithium fusionWhat about clusters of H nuclei--like Coopers pairs--moving about in the same lattice site. If two bare H nuclei can occupy a single site, why can not 2 Cooper pairs also occupy the site? The cross section for the interaction--fusion of two Cooper pairs may be significant. Hence the formation of He and some positrons would be explained.
Magnetic fields may cause alignment which is suggested to be important for nuclear screening by the first paper Jones identified from the Italians. And what about a H and a D in the same site? or a Cooper pair of H and a D in the same site? A Cooper pair is not much bigger than a than a H by itself. The charge is of course 2x,spin 0 but with lattice electrons available for screening, who know what the nuclear cluster plus the atomic screen adds up to in way of interaction cross section? Add Li and/or Cooper pairs of Li the plot thickens.

From: Jones Beene Good evidence is turning up that there is a HUGE nuclear anomaly with lithium-6 leading to fusion http://xxx.tau.ac.il/pdf/1503.05266.pdf Another group http://arxiv.org/pdf/1501.05906.pdf Hydrogen may be unnecessary, but getting hold of enriched lithium-6 now becomes a major obstacle to success.
