Robin, you are making an assumption here. You are assuming that no
energy has been lost before the neutrino is emitted and the electron
is absorbed. Suppose, as I have proposed, the energy is lost as a
series of photons before the electron is added so that no energy
remains to be carried by the neutrino. Cold fusion is unique because
it requires this kind of process, i.e. the energy must be lost before
the fusion process is complete. In contrast, hot fission occurs when
all energy is lost at the time fusion is complete. That is the
essential difference between the two phenomenon. You need to read my
papers to see how CF must work to be consistent with what has been
observed. The process can only be properly understood by considering
all aspects of the process, not just this one event.

Hi,

However, if protium was fusing into deuterium, which is an
extremely rare reaction to begin with, there should be gamma
radiation.
There is no gamma radiation from the p-e-p reaction (as distinct
from the p-p
reaction). The energy disappears with the neutrino. Therefore
*effectively* this
reaction produces no energy.
However useful energy would be released from subsequent fusion
reactions
involving the D formed in the p-e-p reaction.
