Eric,
You might be interested to know that your suggestion (p + d -> 3He + Q)
is the same as that proposed - based on the fact that p + Ni would form
"hard gammas" which are not observed - by Prof. Kim in his ICCF18 talk.
Based on this he has suggested that Defkalion try varying the heavy
hydrogen content in their cells. He also proposed that the reaction is
promoted by the formation of Rydberg atoms which pair due to their
electric moments to form bosons and are then trapped by short-lifetime
local magnetic wells due to the magnetic alignment of Ni atoms on the
surface of the Ni powders.
