Jones,
I don't understand how you can call 2 protons (which combine to form
a bosonic quasiparticle) a 'condensate' (transient or otherwise) since
protons are Fermions and only 1 quasiparticle boson is formed from 2
protons. A single boson (pair of protons) is not a condensate. In Kim's
theory of Ni-H LENR, he assumes that 2 protons can combine above the Curie
temperature (when the "internal" magnetic field is weak) to form a spin
zero bosonic quasiparticle and that a quasi BEC condensate can then be
formed due to overlap between bosonic Ni nuclei with even nucleon number
and bosonic quasiparticles (pairs of protons) with spin zero. I don't
think he explains what the attractive interaction is that causes the
protons to "pair-up", but with many such pairs one could imagine a
condensate forming.
