A new Arxiv paper perhaps related to LENR - "Macroscopic nuclear states" http://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.6561v1.pdf
ABSTRACT The internal structure of deuterons weakly influences a motion of their centers of mass (macroscopic motion) when the separation R between deuterons is much larger than the nuclear radius. The scenario can be different when a pair of deuterons has a complex angular momentum resulting in a singularity on some axis in space. The singularity is smeared out within a cylinder of the deuteron radius around this axis. Inside the cylinder macroscopic and nuclear coordinates are connected. A continuous superposition of states with various directions of those axes forms a smooth wave function in a macroscopic (much larger than the nuclear size) region of space. This function cannot be described by only inter-nuclear coordinates R. Internal nuclear degrees of freedom are involved. A motion of nuclei in the macroscopic region becomes completely different compared to the usual expectation based on point charge approach. Slow moving (at large distances) nuclei can overcome the Coulomb barrier due to hybridization with internal nuclear states of high energy. EXTRACT "...For example, two conical deuteron fluxes can meet each other at the nuclear region with 100% probability regardless of their energy. It can be even of room temperature value. One can put a question about macroscopic nuclear states of atoms and more general systems. In this paper we do not analyze experimental conditions for creation of macroscopic nuclear state."
