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? Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
