Well, Mark - there is at least one highly respected theoretician who thinks that I am spinning wheels with this endeavor.
Maybe it is premature ... what is that they say about 'fools rushing in
...?" Nevertheless - nothing I have seen theoretically stands up to close
scrutiny, so I will trudge onward.
At any rate, in shaking the google-tree to see what forbidden fruit falls
out ... as fate would have it, when hydrogen iodide is suggested, a fellow
named Robert Mockan had been posting on this molecule being Rossi's secret
activator, at least last year. He seems to have given up.
Maybe the Higgs-hyperbole will reinvigorate having another look at hydrogen
iodide.

Jones,
You been busy this morning... have some more coffee and
you'll have it all figured out by noon-time!

Please forgive speculation based on too little information,
and on a story that is just breaking. I do realize that none of the numbers
are firm yet, and that I am trying to wedge into the big-picture a few
energy anomalies which could be unconnected in the end, and which few in
physics believe anyway.
However, if there is any remote connection between all of
this Higgs-hyperbole and maximizing the output of LENR in Ni-H reactions,
then it is worth and early stab. Not to mention that emergent new meme -
that the Higgs field = aether = zpe, roughly speaking.
After all, we taxpayers need to get out some tiny return out
for the billion$ sunk into that particular black (money) hole.
Ok first off. Yours truly has been a big proponent for Ni-64
being the active isotope in Ni-H reactions for reasons which are in the
archives and will not be repeated.
It is probably yet another coincidence that this isotope is
one half the atomic mass of what could be the Higgs (aether) value,
depending on details to emerge later. Actually 63Ni, which is unstable would
be the best fit for ½ of what I believe is the best value - 126 amu.
Admittedly this could be a failing attempt to match up the
shadows on the wall of Plato's cave, but heck ... the effort is shaping up
better than a random-walk, thus far.
_____________________________________________
1 amu = 931.46 MeV/c2 or alternatively 1
GeV = 1.074 amu. Ergo 125 GeV =~ 134 amu.
The reported anomaly identified with the
Higgs boson or field is at 125 GeV but that does not mean that 134 amu is a
usable value for the equivalent rest mass.
Xenon has an stable isotope with mass at 134
and that argues against this being the precise mass of the Higgs boson, or
whatever was identified recently in data that every PR firm in the world is
being paid to pump up as if it were actually really a god ... and even
though all of these analogies is bit like comparing apples to oranges.
However, there is other evidence indicating
that the rest mass of the particle in question would be less. I have
accumulated some hints that suggest it is lower - around 126 amu. At this
level, there could be repercussions in 3-space with a few adjoining
isotopes, especially if the Higgs field were a fractal space which we can
identify with aether. Understanding this would open the door to how a higher
dimension can interact with 3-space.
It should be noted that among the dangerous
or proscribed materials that citizens of the USA cannot possess under The
Code of Federal regulations of the United States of America, are two
tellurium nuclear isomers with amu of 125 and 127.
Probably coincidence, as is that gap at
iodine 126.
