No … that’s a completely different reaction to get to carbon – no bosons at all in the starting reactants - and it is very, very hot.
From: [email protected] The reaction is known in hot p/B fusion. p+B11=C12* C12*=He4+Be8 Be8=2He4 Its another way to form C*.

There is a semantic issue here since the end product – the helium nucleus is of lower mass than the reactant, Li-6 so this cannot be fusion. Technically LENR could be cold fission, instead of cold fusion. J BTW – in case you were wondering, there is such a known phenomenon - called “cold fission” but it involves very heavy nuclei. This would be an entirely different version of it, if it were real. To be more exact, however, what we are surmising is cold-fusion-fission – where lithium goes to carbon and then back to helium.
