Sure - but according to the very same authority, deuterium does not fuse at ambient temperatures ... and never, never, never does 12C fission from a neutron capture. If you are going to postulate "new physics" then there is absolutely no good reason to limit it to various whims of improbability. In fact, a "temporarily free quark" imprint is possibly *more likely* than 12C fission ... since it need not be permanent (whereas the carbon fission is permanent and must have secondary gammas, which are absent) - .... especially assuming that neither has a real precedent.
