Eric, I see that you are looking into gamma quenching as a method to control the dangerous gammas which are expected to be released by the reactions. Do you think that the process is virtually perfect such that there are essentially no gammas escaping to the outside world? I might accept that 99.9% of them are taken out by this process but that would still leave many to be detected outside of the devices. For this reason I have been seeking a process that keeps the gammas from forming in the reaction at any time. A quantum coupling of some form between the proton entering the nucleus and many other free ones nearby might fill the need. The action of my demon discussed earlier suggests that something of this nature might be active and possible.
A thought occurred to me concerning the drop in equivalent resistance that this thread covers. It would be quite important if the drop were due to a reverse voltage generated by the LENR mechanism that could be improved in such a manner as to act as an electric source of energy. How wonderful it would be if we would be so lucky as to discover an electric source of power that directly converts LENR activity into DC power with a decent efficiency. If I recall the Patterson Cell used DC input to generate heat output, maybe this coupling can be reversed in some fashion. This concept is just open minded dreaming. I will return to reality ASAP!

They could, for instance, lead to synchrotron radiation, although synchrotron radiation might imply a 511 keV peak. I omitted the important point about pair production -- it's the pair production that could potentially imply a 511 keV peak (I'm not sure). What I should have said is that it might be possible to have gamma quenching, perhaps assisted by synchrotron radiation or perhaps not, without necessarily getting to pair production. Eric
