Robin--
I agree with your observation. As far as I know there are no cross sections
established for slow protons.
I think there may be some resonance cross sections for dipole and
quadrupole electric and magnetic stimulation however. They may even be
published.
It takes a fine tuned photon beam from 2 directions in a magnetic field to
achieve the quadrupole stimulation. A broad spectrum radiation field from
all directions may be able to achieve the stimulation on occasion depending
upon the density of the electrons shielding the Li nuclei. The electric or
magnetic dipole stimulation may be easier. N. Cook's energy charts may help
determine the mode that is most likely.
If you recall, laser stimulation of Craven and Letts device seemed to cause
excess heat consistently.

Hi,
[snip]
The Li nucleus becomes excited, but it cannot simply convert directly to
beryllium without an energetic emission to compensate for the kinetic
energy which caused the fusion.
All p+Li7 reactions that have been measured are caused by bombarding Li with
fast protons. If I'm not mistaken, it's the energy of the fast proton that
results in the gamma. However in the case of LENR there is no fast proton,
since
the protons are room temperature or a couple of eV at most. The actual
fusion
process being mediated purely by tunneling. So perhaps gamma-less p+Li7
fusion
is indeed possible?
