just a detail, because this argument is sometime used that neutrons are seldom detected, and not at the level matching the power does not mean that there are no neutron detected. it only mean that they are absorbed before detection, or not enough energetic to be detected. this is the basic of widom-larsen arguments. about gamma, the heavy electrons could absorbs them (they exists in som non-LENR, mainstream, experiments- cited by larsen in his slides) anyway D+D fusion does not work as an explanation for reason near what you say. DD will emit fast neutrons, to be detected, and hard gamma, that heavy electrons cannot convert to UV/IR/phonons and branching ration have no convincing reason to change from known values. moreover transmutation are the best proof that very slow neutrons are behind LENR... created like WL says or not, it seems ultra-slow neutrons or similar are requireds
