I've been thinking more and more lately that there's an unexplained selection of branches towards proton-driven reactions; e.g., in a palladium system: p + D -> 3He + gamma p + T -> 4H3 + gamma and away from: D + D -> 3He + n D + D -> T + p D + D ->4He + gamma D + T -> 4He + n Has someone put together a comprehensive catalog of the branches that would need to be considered, including ones involving neutrons, either for palladium or nickel, for the kinds of energy ranges we're talking about? This would be very helpful. I find EXFOR hard to work with; it may be that I'm just not using it correctly. Eric
