This is a provocative paper on the He-6 halo nucleus. The spin energy of the halo is found in the 500 keV range. Maybe that is why Terry (of the spin cartel, Dirac wing) chose this value – as a reference to Hotson. It occurs to me - on trying to fit all of this new information into the dogbone mechanics, and combined with Meulenberg’s hypothesis on the availability of the DDL interaction - vis-à-vis the lithium nucleus in this case – that we could be seeing a glimmer of the answer. Many disparate details are falling into place. We also must add a revised version of “neutron hopping” (neutron transfer reactions) into the mix. The complete hypothesis is complex, but manageable. If it was simple, it would have been accepted years ago. Here is the “hopping” paper, but we need to add the DDL as a species which will substitute for a neutron in energy-neutral transfers. http://www.newenergytimes.com/v2/library/1993/1993Hagelstein-Neutron-Transfer-Reactions-ICCF4.pdf Part of the gain in the dogbone is spin-based, nuclear, non-fusion and gamma-free. Another part comes from hydrogen – in dropping to ground state redundancy. Actually, that gain is spin-based as well. The total gain involves dense hydrogen in the dark-matter (DDL) state which interacts lithium. Part of the answer, essentially, could be that DDL hydrogen atoms (highest state of redundancy, identifiable as dark matter) are substituting (hopping) as if they were neutrons, in Li-6 converting it into He-6 and then back again. Spin energy is released. This hybrid mechanism is worth fleshing out in a dedicated thread. The best part of this hypothesis is that -- like other variants which depend on the reality of DDL/dark matter, this hypothesis is falsifiable. Easily falsifiable. There is a soft x-ray signature for DDL/dark matter. The ways to detect it are available, but not with standard Geiger counters and monitors. This signature has actually been seen in LENR as far back as the mid-1990s. It can be detected with the proper device. https://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l%40eskimo.com/msg101783.html Jones
