You propose that the coulomb barrier is structured differently from how it is normally portrayed in textbooks, and it is this difference that permits the low temperature fusion of protons and deuterons and energy production. Wouldn't the same difference help to explain how transmutations can happen as well? It seems to me a good theory should be able to explain both transmutations and energy production even if the nuclei involved differ in each case.
