>From what I read of the paper, it's a very short range force; perhaps 12fm but the signal seen was at 6.8 sigma, The paper is located here: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.07411v1.pdf Interesting read. Where this becomes relevant is in the electron screening that metals provide in Pd(D). Maybe Ni(H) and as Jones point's out, how D+D->He4 goes to heat without gamma, neutrons or a signature of a 24MeV radiation signature. It's a good hand-waving argument Jones.
