How do you explain the transfer of the excess energy to the metal lattice as heat ? The lattice vibrations you talk about (phonons) I believe are associated with orbital spin states of the lattice electrons and hence the associated angular momentum. How does your model handle conservation of angular momentum---the poor neglected parameter in many models focusing on energy conservation?

The neuglu boson would be attracted to down quarks and equally repelled by up quarks, so that it will have net binding force for neutrons but repel protons. Neutron - 1 up quark, 2 down quarks; Proton - 2 up quarks, 1 down quark. This property would indicate that neuglu is related to the W and Z bosons. In the interstices of the palladium lattice which has absorbed deuterons to an active ratio near 1:1, a heavier (neutron rich) isotope such as Pd-110 would release the neuglu boson as a natural response to deuteron loading. This requires borrowed energy. 4He, as the ash of a depleted fusion reaction, would derive from a two-step process in which neuglu plays a vital role by creating an initial binding state. The final fusion reaction does not produce gamma radiation since most of the mass-deficit has been used up in advance (quantum borrowing) in the process of removing the neuglu from the host. Time reversed reactions are characteristic of quantum mechanics (retrocausality). In the first stage with a loaded metal matrix, the neuglu boson begins the reaction by binding the two terminal neutrons of two separated deuterons. Following that initial binding, a second stage follows where the bound deuterons are further compressed into 4He. This can be due to fluctuations in the internal pressurization of the metal matrix caused by vibration and in particular - by anharmonic lattice oscillation. Since the neuglu is lost to the host metal, its mass energy is deducted in the final energy balance. In terms of energy balance, this situation works out according to observation, since the mass deficit of helium following deuterium fusion would normally be 24 MeV from which the mass-energy equivalent of neuglu is deducted, estimated to be about 17 MeV. The pressurization energy of the second stage, due to phonon anharmonic vibration, somewhat in the manner of Hagelstein's theory, would balance the books without a gamma, which is easier to justify in the depleted state. The hypothesis is falsifiable via loading of deuterium in palladium which is enriched in the heavy isotope Pd-110 to be compared against a matrix which is depleted in 110. A simple Arata-style pressure experiment should be sufficient for confirmation of greater excess heat in the heavier enrichment. Eventually the heavier isotope may become depleted in neuglu - which would help to explain why there has been inconsistency in results.
