There is no need for down-conversion to explain the lack of high
energy gammas associated with excess heat of LENR, provided those
gammas are not produced in the first place. If an energetically
trapped electron in the nucleus carries away the reaction heat away
from the nucleus in the form of kinetic energy, but that energy is
insufficient to overcome the trapping energy (shown in brackets in
the deflation fusion reactions I provide) then the electron will
radiate until zero point energy, uncertainty energy, expands its
wavefunction sufficiently for it to escape the nucleus, or a weak
reaction follows.

I think that the frequency of the outgoing down-converted photons will

(N-1)
ground state atoms, which should still radiate at the same lower
frequencies. However, multi-atom absorption could result in strong
variation in emitted intensity bursts (superradiance).
But, maybe there's more to it than that.
Some anomalous down-conversion of gamma-rays were reported in the
1930s. I
do not know whether they have been explained since then. If
interested,

Some insights from quantum mechanics…
Spontaneous parametric down-conversion
Reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_parametric_down-conversion
The rule that comes out of this quantum mechanical process is that
energy
is shared approximately equally between N entangled particles with
each
entangled particle getting 1/N amount of the energy.
The originating frequency of the nuclear radiation is also shared
between
the N particles and is therefore divided approximately equally
between the
N particles and is therefore also divided in its calculation by 1/N.
Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) is an important
process in
quantum optics, used especially as a source of entangled photon
pairs, and
of single photons.
