Excellent insight, Axil.

If you remember our discussions on degenerate electrons in the thread:
New physical attraction between ions in quantum plasmas
Centered around the paper
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1112.5556.pdf
with the title:
Novel Attractive Force between Ions in Quantum Plasmas
Discussion:
Electrons can be placed in a degenerate state by the Pauli
Exclusion Principle having been forced into a condition of overabundance
where the excess number of electrons cannot find a ground state to reenter
therein.
This situation has been shown to generate a new attractive
force between ions that are shielded by these degenerate electrons in
quantum plasmas.
The underlying cause is the reversal of charge repulsion.
This mechanism could be based on a superconductive like restriction of
electron flow into a one dimensional direction regime. Here, the electron
can either flow in a backward or forward direction caused by unique
topologic constructions in the cold plasma possibly due to the formation of
some exotic forms of hydrogen crystallization.
This type of one dimensional electron flow may cause
electron fractionalization as is suspected to happen in superconductivity
where charge can accumulate as a fractionalization phenomenon irrespective
of the location of the associated electrons.
The charge fraction of the electron may aggregate to form a
hard core negative part that serves to shield the positive charge of the
ions.

I wonder if electron based quasiparticles can be involved or
even causative in the cold fusion mechanism.
In physics, fractionalization is the phenomenon whereby the
quasiparticles of a system cannot be constructed as combinations of its
elementary constituents. One of the earliest and most prominent examples is
the fractional quantum Hall effect, where the constituent particles are
electrons but the quasiparticles carry fractions of the electron charge.
Fractionalization can be understood as deconfinement of
quasiparticles that together are viewed as comprising the elementary
constituents. In the case of spin-charge separation, for example, the
electron can be viewed as a bound state of a 'spinon' and a 'chargon', which
under certain conditions can become free to move separately.
The Mills cold fusion mechanism shows indications of
fractionalization of the orbiton/holon, the orbital quasiparticle component
of the electrons quantum properties.
This fractionalization may be indicative of spin change
separation as important and active in the cold fusion mechanism.
Spin-charge separation is one of the most unusual
manifestations of the concept of quasiparticles. This property is
counterintuitive, because neither the spinon, with zero charge and spin
half, or the chargon, with charge minus one and zero spin, can be
constructed as combinations of the electrons, holes, phonons and photons
that are the constituents of the system.
It is an example of fractionalization, the phenomenon in
which the quantum numbers of the quasiparticles are not multiples of those
of the elementary particles, but fractions.
Since the original electrons in the system are fermions, one
of the spinon and chargon has to be a fermion, and the other one has to be a
boson. One is theoretically free to make the assignment in either way, and
no observable quantity can depend on this choice. The formalism with bosonic
chargon and fermionic spinion is usually referred to as the "slave-fermion"
formalism.
If chargon is a boson, it could support a condensate that
enables a charge accumulation mechanism whereby the large negative electric
charge localized is a small volume can remove the coulomb barrier to allow
fusion to occur.
Mileys observations of superconductive behavior of pockets
of hydrogen ions may also be other indications of some sort of quasiparticle
fractionalization at work.
