Eric, It appears that you would like to see an experiment where the mix of D to P is adjusted. Have you seen any correlation in the data from earlier tests that support the idea that a 50/50 mix would be the most active?

If it is p + X reaction, what other isotopes other than Ni62could be used? Or perhaps it is really a p+p reaction with Ni-62 donating something??? For Ni/H, my favorite hypothesis: d+p+Ni → 3He+Ni In this reaction, the nickel is just a bystander and absorbs some of the momentum of the reaction, so that there is no gamma. Along this line of thinking, occasionally there will be spallation and fusion with the nickel and cluster decay, where an alpha or two break off. An interesting implication is that eventually the deuterium will be used up, and you'll have to replenish it. In this instance, it is the deuterium that is being replenished and not an isotope of nickel. Eric
