I think the paper is here: http://repository.ias.ac.in/64627/1/10-pub.pdf On the Laser Stimulation of Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions in Deuterated Palladium Authors:K. P. Sinha<http://arxiv.org/find/cond-mat/1/au:+Sinha_K/0/1/0/all/0/1>, A. Meulenberg<http://arxiv.org/find/cond-mat/1/au:+Meulenberg_A/0/1/0/all/0/1> (Submitted on 8 Mar 2006 (v1 <http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0603213v1>), last revised 20 Oct 2006 (this version, v3)) Abstract: Models to account for the observed experimental results for low-energy nuclear reactions in palladium-deuteride systems are presented along with calculated results. The crucial idea is a mechanism of improved probability for the needed penetration of the Coulomb barrier for a D-D reaction. This facilitation occurs, in general, with the formation of D^- ions at special frequency modes (e.g. via phonons) and, specifically for the laser-stimulated case, with utilization of enhanced optical potential at a selected interface. Both mechanisms may work individually, or together, to increase the probability of barrier penetration.
