This paper must be the same one, or an update of the same R&D
reported by Steve Krivit in "New Energy Times" recently. The long
version of the paper is available from LENR/CANR
http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/MosierBossthermaland.pdf
I don't think they're the same paper. The titles are different, and the
MosierBossthermaland.pdf appears to be a review paper covering old work
(it's also 125 pages long so I'm not going to pretend I just read
through the whole thing tonight). The abstract for the new paper says
they have a new result which sounds really exciting. Just to reiterate
what Don already posted, it says, among other things:
The density of tracks registered by a CR-39 detector was found to be

This sounds really fabulous. (I love that word, "reproducible".) It
sure doesn't sound like they're just chewing over decades-old evidence!
It's $32 to purchase the full document online, and being a cheapskate
I'm going to wait and see if it shows up somewhere for free before I
spring for it...
However the main thing which may be new - or if not new, not well
covered elsewhere --may be their model of the reaction based upon
"electron capture," and if anyone is up-to-speed on the details of
this model, I hope that they will post their thoughts - as this is
not a subject which is well understood ... especially if you have
tried to wade through the Zhang paper and others.
