...or what about this relevant possibility (which might just appeal to a few of the "free-thinker" experimenters on vortex)... Everyone who follows CF has a theory about the missing 24 MeV of energy which should be there in the form of a "signature" gamma when deuterium combines to form helium, but is notoriously absent... as Park and other skeptics of LENR will be quick to let you know. Yes, there are other (feeble) theories to account for this lack or absence of the characteristic photon, of course, but none of them are at all convincing... so let's add one more ingredient into the (mental) boiling kettle for your consideration, and see which one eventually rises to the top ... This new one being that in the CF reaction zone, most of the energy released goes into (*e-) synthesis !! We have hypothesized before that if the heavy electron (*e-) exists in the earth environment (and under one of the main tenets of string theory there is every reason to suspect that (*e-) must have existed at one time in the past), then some of it, or most of it, would have been created in energetic cosmological events, such as a supernova, perhaps the one from which our sun was born. I suspect that if one looks closely at the *effective* pressures and heat which are involved at the subangstrom focal point of helium formation in that brief picosecond before the D+D or "dirty deed" transpires within the tight confines of the Pd matrix, then perhaps something similar in the way of confinement parameters (to the supernova) may be occurring in an otherwise relatively cold matrix. At any rate, the end product of D+D cold fusion could be... not just the alpha, which is now well-documented, but in addition, a dozen of so (*e-) particles, which after depositing their thermal energy, would take up residence in both the Pd and the He... But is this wild hypothesis disprovable... YES ! ....if one can collect the He off of a running CF cell and run it through the most sensitive mass-spec, that procedure might be the easy way - and a method to find and document the elusive electronium, should it be the main product of the most typical CF reaction. I wonder what the sensitivity is of the very top of the line mass-spec? This article below seems to indicate that the leading edge of the test instrument art in common use for mass-energy measurement is "now 2-5 ppm, which many instruments achieve with an external calibration or lock mass..." http://www.lcgceurope.com/lcgceurope/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=88264 It is not clear if that is for atomic mass or group mass, but perhaps it is indicative of an instrument being available. If the He from a CF cell were doubly enriched with electronium it would have roughly 2 MeV greater mass energy. compared to the normal 3.728 GeV or .00027 greater than normal, or 2700 ppm, no? ... which should be measurable, one would think... even without a top of the line instrument.
