Jones--
Brown's 2007 item you refer to below is close to my first impression of what
was happening back in 1989 in the P-F experiment. An excerpt from Brown's
paper is included below:
Enhanced low energy fusion rate in palladium (Pd) due to vibrational
deuteron dipole-dipole interactions and associated resonant tunneling that
over-cancels the Jastrow factor between deuteron pair wavefunctions
J.S.Brown
(Submitted on 12 Nov 2007)
We show that interstitial hydrogen nuclei on a metallic lattice are
strongly coupled to their near neighbors by the unscreened electromagnetic
field mediating transitions between low-lying states. We then show that in
almost-stoichiometric PdD clusters, in which most interstitial sites are
occupied by a deuteron, certain specific superpositions of many-site product
states exist that are lower in energy than the single-site ground state,
suggesting the existence of a new low temperature phase. The modified
behaviour of the two-particle wavefunction at small separations is
investigated and prelimary results suggesting an over-canceling of the
effective Coulomb barrier are presented. <<
I concluded that it was not unlikely that 2 D could occupy the same lattice
position inside the Pd face center cubic array and pair up in the magnetic
field that existed as an internal B field with high + and - spin states (a
virtual helium nucleus) and decay to a ground state--stable helium--with
distribution of the spin energy to the electronic structure of the Pd
lattice.
I was not aware of the idea of Cooper pairs of electrons in 1989.
I think I even wrote this down.
I need to better understand the coupling that Brown refers to regarding the
pair of D particles. It will be interesting to see whether he has the
magnetic field represented in the coupling expression.

You indicated the following:
>> Chris did not mention SPP implying that he probably does not know of
the plasmon polariton mechanism. It's too late now even though
applications
can be altered and augmented (but one loses priority).
Has anyone you know mentioned SPP in a patent?
Yes but the first instance is not clear. See Egely: WO 2012164323 A3
https://www.google.com/patents/WO2012164323A3
But one cannot be the inventor of anything already known in prior art
whether it is mentioned in a patent filing or in the scientific
literature.
Mention of SPP was made in the literature as far back as 1985. The first
instance I can find on Vortex is from GJB in 2011:

But I think the main credit for SPP in LENR goes to Julian Brown. I cannot
find the exact paper but he is/was prolific.

This is an important point and it would be helpful to track it down, but I
do not have time today.
