Jones--Bob Cook Here--
Can you show how the p-e-p reaction as you understand it conserves spin?
I would think that the newly fused particle, whatever it is, would have 1/2
or 3/2 spin--I do not know.
If a positron is emitted, its spin would be -1/2 I think. That would make
the new particle have 0 or 1 spin.
The reaction of the positron and electron give photons with 0 spin.

The most elegant answer begins with the obvious assertion that there are no
gammas ab initio, which means that no reaction of the kind which your theory
proposes can be valid because gammas are expected.
Actually not only would I not expect to detect any gammas from a p-e-p
reaction, I wouldn't expect to detect any energy at all. That's because the
energy of the p-e-p reaction is normally carried away by the neutrino, which
is almost undetectable.
Hi,
Not so - the reaction produces a positron, which annihilates with an
electron producing 2 gammas. They net energy is over 1 MeV and easily
detectable.
