Peter,
The question is whether or not the lattice environment can alter
the probability. My premise is that we don't properly understand the
significance of lowering the vacuum energy density through suppression, that
is to say when vacuum energy density becomes inversely proportional to the
spacing distance^4 of Casimir boundaries it increases relative time in the
cavity such that these unlikely reactions do have time to occur. Mine is of
course not the only theory or mechanism which results in altering the
probability of these reactions in a lattice environment so take your pick
from the many alternatives. deflation, slow neutrons, ect,ect. My point is
that this field is in pursuit of environments that alter the normal
probability. I personally don't limit myself to lattice environments because
sonoluminescence and pyrophoric action can occur strictly based on geometry
between conductive materials - not necessarily metals.
Regards
Fran

Low Energy Nuclear Reactions = Low Probability Nuclear Reactions?
Now if these reactions are low probability, they still can happen, and can
be true, but they have no practical value...
