BTW – if anyone has the inclination, it should be possible to work out the hypothetical energy balance of the Mizuno experiment (MIT colloquium) based on the volume of the reactor, initial gas pressure of deuterium, ending gas pressure of hydrogen etc, with which to compare against the claimed energy of the run – 100 megajoules over 30 days. (eat your heart out, JET).
Thus there are three or more values to reconcile – the measured excess
energy, the calculated excess based only on proton energy following the
“fission” or whatever is happening - and the calculated reaction excess of
alternative reactions, including the one posted earlier where the presumed
reaction is D2 + Ps2 -> 2H2 … which is to say that one deuterium molecule
(or ion) interacts with one positronium molecule, such that the two
positrons and two neutrons (from the D2 atoms) fuse to protons, resulting
eventually in 2 hydrogen molecules... actually 4 protons, 4 electrons and
two electron antineutrinos.
The Mizuno results should show a modest gain per reacted deuteron, about 15%
of the case if there was some kind of fusion going on, which explains the
100+ megajoules which Mizuno saw over 30 days with few gammas, and which can
be compared to the .45 MeV per deuterium atom which is “split”. If this was
fusion, the gain would be no less than 7 times higher per initial deuteron.

Perhaps binding energy is not the
technically correct term.
Let me put it this way. If a deuteron
transitions to diproton before it becomes two protons, what is the potential
energy of the diproton?

OK that much is known. The resonant spectrum of the diproton
is around .45 MeV which is about the same as electron/positron annihilation,
but protons are unlikely to cause much bremsstrahlung so this could go
un-noticed. There is electrostatic repulsion fighting against the strong
force … but there is a brief lifetime for the protons to be together, even
if ostensibly unbound. The lifetime is somewhere around 10^(-21) s.

The lack of google results concerning the
value of the binding energy of a diproton is noteworthy. In fact I couldn't
find any value.
Can anyone?
