This reminds me of the Letts and Cravens paper on laser stimulation of deuterated palladium. When they applied an external magnetic field, they got different results. In the context of LENR, I wonder whether there could be a polarization of the nuclear spin states of nuclei within range of the strong magnetic nearfield created by some topological features in the lattice environment. It's not clear what this polarization might do. One possibility is that it could alter the cross-sections for reactions, and it could open up branches that are otherwise forbidden, e.g., when the nuclei are rotating quickly and have unsuitable multipole moments.
