[snip] I think it may be that two protons get close to the nucleus, then one actually fuses, while the other gets repelled, carrying the energy of the reaction, because it was close enough to absorb it through "near field" effects. (Perhaps it just loses its "cloak" and is repelled by the Coulomb charge of the nucleus). Regards,
