I must not understand your point here. If the barrier is lowered then it would seem that an alpha particle would exhibit less of a coulomb repulsion away from the nucleus. Perhaps you are suggesting that more alphas would be generated if the source elements could get through the barrier easier?

One indicator that the alpha particles come from fusion is a lack of light nuclear transmutation products; products with an atomic number less than the cathode material. >From the begining, the assumption has always been that helium is a product of >deuterium fusion. This assumption may not be true. If helium is found in H/Ni ash, how could that helium be produce? <> If light element ash is present, this tends to suggest that the cause of the alpha partial emissions from the cathode is a result of a fission process of the cathode material and a partial lowering in the coulomb barrier. Rossi explained the appearance of light element ash in his used powder as a fission process back in 2011. If true, how could fission be happening?

Maybe I'll just answer the door and see who is there. *What is this effect? Under what conditions does it happen? What can be seen to be consistent about it? Anything?* What torpedoed the discovery of the FPHE in the first place was speculation about the cause, with most of the physics community imagining that if it was real, it must be X, and X wouldn't look like this, therefore it wasn't real. And most of the few others imagining that it was Y, which was preposterous and with very little foundation and certainly no proof. And only a few actually persisting with the question, "How does this behave? What actually happens?" As evidence from these few accumulated, we came to the point where we can actually say a little that is solid. We still don't know what the hell is going on, really, but we can now say that the probability is very high that the FPHE is a result of deuterium being transmuted to helium. How? We don't know. Lots of people have lots of guesses. In order to discriminate between these guesses, we need a lot more data. We do not collect data sitting at a computer screen typing out our opinions, fantasies, nor even what we know. I am, with this request for information, beginning the process of gathering what is actually known, as to a detail that might have some significance. When what is known has been collected and collated, further experiment may be suggested. That's how science actually works, other than through sheer luck. We do know, now, that Pons and Fleischmann were very lucky, If their batch of palladium had been ordinary, they would probably have seen nothing.
