*Plasma Extremes Seen through Gas Bubble* There are a lot of electrons produced by Sonoluminescence during cavitation bubble collapse. <Snip> Within this model, they calculated an electron density of (more than) 10^^21 electrons per cubic centimeter, which agrees with a previous sonoluminescence experiment in acid that used a different technique. By comparison, ICF researchers aim for around 10^^23 electrons per cubic centimeter to ignite fusion. <EndSnip> This is a lower limit only on electron numbers in cavatation. The Key to LENR is energy concentration made possible by producing huge amounts of electrons in the smallest possible volume. Cavitation is yet another way to produce such electron concentrations. I suspect that these electrons organize themselves into a soliton because of the very tranquil nature of their production in the collapsing bubble. Unlike ICF fusion attempts, the movement of LENR based electron ensembles will tend to for a vortex ring as these electron collections self-rotate, condense and arrogate together. In point of general fact, it is not the quantity of the electron production, but the organized way this electron ensemble moves together that produces LENR. In the NiH reactor, there are about 6.86 10^^23 electrons in each soliton. Each soliton is highly compact being just 10s of nanometers across. An indication that the electrons are entangled with photons to from surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) is that when the bubble cycle is over, an intense flash of XUV light is emitted as the elections and photons are de-entangled. <Snip> The freed electrons deflect off of atoms or ions, causing them to emit photons in a picosecond-long flash of light (a process called thermal bremsstrahlung). <EndSnip> This is not the cause of the flash. The flash is caused by polariton de-entanglement in the same fashion as photon de-entanglement forms the laser pulse production in the polariton laser.. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the number of photons in the bright ultra-blue flash and the number of electrons that formed the bubble based polariton soliton. The polariton is a boson which removes the limits on the concentration imposed on the electrons by the fermion applicable Pauli exclusion rule. ICF must fight this exclusion rule whereas LENR does not. It seems that a group of orthodox scientist is getting into LENR via a back door, they just don’t know it yet. Well better late than never.
