Low temperatures initially? Too bad it did not remain that way.
Actually, I was seeking evidence of a low energy reaction. You did bring up an interesting point however. How would you expect the BECs to influence the overall reaction in this particular case? Could they have caused the yield to exceed expectations? Would that also tend to generate nasty radioactive elements that do not normally occur in other designs? We may be on to something that needs to be explored. I am attempting to get a handle on the equivalent pressure that would be required to force Ds to be in the proximity that they find themselves within if they share a hole within a metal matrix. This must be enormous compared to the density they exhibit at room temperature. Add this elevated pressure and laser cooling, or other methods that reduce the relative motion between them and something interesting might result. Then, of course there are random variations in the energy of Ds that naturally occur. It makes me wonder if being trapped in a tiny cavity would tend to allow instantaneous cooling to occur under the right circumstances.

I am not aware that anyone makesthat claim and it would add support to the other theory if proven. Yes – an earlyhydrogen bomb called “Mike” put millions of tons of radioactivity intothe air in the fifties, creating untold numbers of health problems today - but thatis probably not the answer you are looking for. Although the yield wassurprising – so perhaps BECs were involved, come to think of it. BTW – “Mike”used liquid deuterium in a large thermos as the main fuel - with a smallfission trigger. No tritium was needed. The output was over 10 megatons of TNT –and that exceeded all of the explosives used in WW II, including the small fissionbombs dropped on Japan - which were similar to Mike’s trigger. About 95% of Mike’senergy came from the fusion of liquid deuterium at very low temperature - initiallyJ Cough, cough…
