Really an excellent report, from an advanced theoretician with
long-term experience in the field and many publications.
I was gratified to see that he is now explaining TSC theory as
involving D2 molecules, which I'd come up with as the explanation for
"Why four deuterons"? I think that's quite what he had in mind from
the start, but if he'd explained it, I missed it.
I wished that he had confronted the discrepance between his
predictions, involving alphas of up to a few MeV, with Hagelstein's
paper, which he considered good work, which seems to rule those out
from the experimental evidence.
It would hinge on the preferred decay modes of the excited Be-8 (47.6
MeV). I suspect that under lattice/confinement conditions, it might
favor photon emission down to a minimal energy before decay.
In his theory, if the reactions are taking place at the surface, as
he shows, it might be possible to detect, with the right experimental
set-up, the decay photons, which would be a strong confirmation, at
least that Be-9* is being formed. If the reactions are taking place
in lattice defects under the surface, that might not work.
Takahashi was gratified to see so much codeposition work being done
in the United States.
