In a personal correspondence, Y.E. Kim confirms that this BEC development gives his theory yet another leg up.
Yes, high temperature BEC (HT-BEC) is possible with interacting Bosons which is capable of forming a BEC cluster.**** The arguments for requiring the very low T to form a BEC are valid only for non-interacting or weakly interacting Bosons (as observed by Cornell, Wieman, Ketterle, and others) for which the temperature is determined by the tail of the MB velocity distribution. The MB velocity distribution is appropriate for an ideal gas of non-interacting Bosons, but it is not applicable to the interacting Bosons.**** Some (or many) people still do not the understand this !**** I expect that many of LENR phenomena at room temperatures and also at higher temperatures can be explained by BEC clusters formation by the interacting Bosons.**** Yeong > >
