Kevin, it was in a previous JCMNS article - but since I posted that, it looks like it may have been a misreading of a detail about a deeply bound ground state. Nevertheless - here is more info to follow up on.
Note - a new paper by Rice and Kim dispute the "Deep Dirac Layer" which is similar but not the same as the Klein-Gordon state. http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RiceRAcommentsona.pdf Note also that this paper from SLAC in Refs. 8-12 suggests, provides references for the proposition that both the relativistic Schrodinger and Dirac wave equations do allow that electrons in some atoms may have additional redundant energy levels (so called Deep Dirac levels or DDL which correspond to electron orbits very close to the nucleus). http://www.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-wrap/getdoc/slac-pub-7683.pdf Maybe Joe has a comment on the reality of a DDL or else the KGS? Again - if it is a reality, a deep fractional state, even if not deriving from Dirac (if you believe Kim) could be an interesting candidate for the hypothetical "virtual neutron" ... which would be needed to make some of these Ni-H hypotheses work. If you want to go from Ni-62 which is Rossi's pick of the litter, directly to Cu-63 (and not Cu-62!) then the DDL or KGS "virtual neutron" could do this elegantly, using the close electron for screening. If Rossi is correct that Ni-62 is indeed the active species, then the virtual neutron makes the most sense of anything out there; even if AR himself missed the critical detail of going direct to Cu-63 instead of Cu-62. Jones From: Kevin O'Malley Which paper is that? His math is above my pay grade, but one detail that seems to emerge is that there could exist a deeply redundant ground state bound at 5 keV. It is a Klein-Gordon state and seems to have turned up in an earlier paper by Meulenberg and Sinha.
