As I understand the way Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP) work is that the photon becomes entangled with the electron that is vibrating as a dipole with a hole in the nickel lattice. The photons are accumulated in of soliton physically displaced from the electrons which are still in the nickel lattice. The SPPs only last between 10 to 100 picoseconds. The solitons become disrupted and the entangled connection with the electron is broken. The photon is now free to broadcast to the far field. The electron never moves physically.
What this means is that the experimenter will only see photons in the x-ray range. Electrons are not released from the lattice. There will be no interaction between tungsten and electrons. Electrons do not gain energy from the nucleus. The photon carries the nuclear binding energy provided by nuclear disruption. At low pumping levels, only x-ray carry energy and not infrared photons since there is no downshifting of the EMF from x-rays down to infrared. The entire LENR reaction is electromagnetic and the alpha's seen are a result of nuclear disruption.
