I have a question about the laser cooling and what magic it performs as related to the BEC. If you are considering the cooling as being a necessary factor that must be present before the BEC can form, then there is a natural process occurring that performs a similar function. Whenever too D's have a head on collision, they must by definition come to a complete halt in forward motion as the kinetic energy that they possess is converted into potential energy stored within the coulomb field. This close contact does not last very long, but perhaps it is long enough for the BEC activity to occur.
Does the net motion of zero velocity constitute a temperature of zero Kelvin for that brief period of time? That is the definition of zero degrees Kelvin according to my understanding. The question is how long does this state have to exist before the BEC action takes place? Has anyone calculated the length of time required? The close proximity of the D's captured within a NAE would force collisions of this type to occur orders of magnitude more often than would be expected in a less dense plasma environment. The lower average temperature associated with LENR devices would lead to another benefit. Less relative velocity of the active D's would allow more time to be spent in close proximity at zero Kelvin since the stored potential energy would be much less than that found in high temperature plasma collisions. Less potential energy translates into less acceleration apart and more time to react.

That simplifies out discussion because now we only need to learn from Sinha.
