This kind of near-coherent resonance was a frequent topic on this forum 4-5 years ago. Several messages in the archives refer to either Preperata or Dicke or both. The acronym DPSR = Dicke-Preparata Super-radiance has been used.
"Cooperative radiation" is another term, as is Ahern's 'energy localization' and all are the precursor to the kind of pure coherence seen in the laser and so forth, not confined to atomic or quantum systems and most often seen as a surface effect at nanoscale. Here is one post in a thread. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg22649.html The "impure form" of coherence is a kind of bunching effect, a sharp spike in the slope of a chart. The name super-radiance is somewhat self-explanatory, but it is a bit of a surprise that until Preperata, the relevance to LENR was not appreciated. Examples of super-radiance are found in nature at all geometric scales where waves exist, and the large example is important to force comprehension of what may difficult to imagine as natural (not commonplace but not rare either) - the "rogue wave" is always out there somewhere: http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=701 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freak_wave Jones From: Nigel Dyer I recently had a quick glance through the chapters on Cold Fusion in Preperata's "QED coherence in matter", and the results in the Nickel Nanoattenas paper seem to be in much the same area as the ideas in the Cold Fusion chapter.
