While Va'vra is recently trying to connect the 511 keV galactic signal with DDL hydrogen, his theory about multi-photon DDL transitions is older. He has been doing work with spark discharge in hydrogen and uses a large cylindrical scintillator with an axial hole to look for coincident detection of multiple photons, that he thought may add up to 511 keV.
Of course, the 511 keV galactic signal is not Va'vra's observation. He was just citing that with a speculation that DDL hydrogen could be implicated. One of the things that QED analysis may provide a better handle on is how DDL transitions might occur. Meulenberg states that DDL state electrons do not have sufficient angular momentum for photon transactions, making it difficult to visualize how DDL state transitions occur. Shrodinger, KG, and Dirac really don't contain information about the photon interaction with the electron, but QED does.
