Ok - it is likely from the specs that Holmlid's laser is not a (chirp
amplified pulse) CAP using exotic gratings and so forth. That is important.
Since it is simply a plain vanilla low-powered-pulse from a ow priced
laser ... but it a pulse which works... and if we believe it works, then
that tells us much about the physics involved. Yet it is not new physics.
The yellow-green light frequency is important. In fact, this result is
reported in the literature going back a decade; but it is overlooked
that laser fusion at low power has been demonstrated a number of times
using this exact frequency of light from several other labs - and to
little fanfare, such as here:
http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/TianJexcessheatb.pdf
There are other papers where 532 nm lasers have produced anomalous
fusion. Maybe other frequencies work, maybe not.
If we could be certain that Holmlid is correct, then what he has done is
to show that the process for fusion involves muon production, which is
far more energetic than nuclear fusion - and the total annihilation of
hydrogen nuclei can be done without chirping.
That is huge ... even if it has been overlooked for a decade. Even if it
is a QM effect which does not scale, it is huge since there is a faction
of the output which is charged particles and that means the effect can
be more than additive.

focused at the test surface with an f = 400 mm spherical lens. The

low, 4 <10e12Wcm 2 as calculated for a Gaussian beam

Holmlid has left out the most important experimental detail.
What is the laser like? I suspect it is chirped into the exowatt
range where anything can happen.
This is a rich field that does not require any suppositions about
dense hydrogen. Large accelerators became nearly obsolete by the
chirped laser capabilities since 1998.
