This latest Va’vra paper could be an extremely important stimulus for and evolving LENR version of the DDL. It is chock full of detail that bears reading and rereading. http://arxiv.org/pdf/1304.0833v3.pdf
Although the DDL transition is at 511 keV is the focus this paper, which is
ostensibly ruled out for LENR (looked for and not found) … the discussion of
the lower x-ray ranges from 2.5-4 keV are still in play, although it is not
certain how they would be evidenced in a working reactor.
In short, the DDL of Naudts at 3.7 keV is definitely still a player for an
emerging theory, as mentioned in this paper.
Given the similarity of this higher 511 keV value to positron annihilation,
it would be interesting to try to fit this into Don Hotson’s theory. Too bad
Don is not around to do that but others may take up the cause. It almost
seems possible that some of what passes for Wheeler’s “quantum foam” in not
virtual positronium, per se, but DDL hydrogen.

* I did some additional research to find Dr. Va'vra. I found his email
and asked him about the latter 3 papers. Here was his interesting response:
However, there is a problem with all these types of
calculations. They use a 1920-1930 quantum mechanics. The correct treatment
must use QED. There were attempts to do that, and I mention that in my more
recent ArXiv paper: 1304.0833v3.
Mills used fractional quantum numbers. That is a "no no"
for the classical quantum mechanics. So, I consider his method wrong.

* Dr. Va'vra has a 2013 ArXiv paper
(http://arxiv.org/pdf/1304.0833v3.pdf) - I think it is a fascinating fit to
this thread. If someone else already cited this, I apologize for the
duplication.
