This is coincidental to the BEC paper mentioned by Axil yesterday.

In fact this could be important for LENR at the theoretical
level, should it be broad enough to include other boson quasiparticles, such
as the magnon.
The definitions are similar: polaritons are quasiparticles
resulting from strong coupling of electromagnetic waves with an electric or
magnetic dipole-carrying excitation. The magnon could be imagined to be the
subset of that - where the coupling is only magnetic. However, it may be
only a partial subset with other features included.
Polaritons describe the dispersion of light (photons) with
an interacting phonon resonance; while the magnon would describe the
dispersion of spin current with an interacting resonance.
Using the same general terms, superconductivity where the
Cooper pair is the boson, would describe the dispersion of charge within an
interacting phonon resonance. (the last is my interpretation, which may not
be correct).
Thus we have a linking of three BEC phenomena which may
happen either at room temperature or close- in the case of the RTSC.

Can those interested in LENR draw any
lessons from this formulation?
