The spectrum has every indication of being Bremsstrahlung ("braking") radiation
the Bremsstrahlung spectrum has a
sharp cutoff at the initial energy of the electron. The fact that this spectrum shows energy out to beyond 1MeV means that you must have MeV+
electron energies inside! This is a big deal. What LENR theories presently can account for MeV electrons? Actually, there appears to be energy out
to over 1.4 MeV in the Bremsstrahlung. MeV protons will not create this spectrum (too heavy and low speed).
Theory author dosn't say all, but if 1.4Mev positron fits..:

In the H(p, e+νe)D reaction via the H-H bond collapse, D atoms/ions are produced in rest
because their recoil energy in the positron and neutrino emission is below 0.1 eV

For the power released in the
H-H fusion, average values of about 60% carried out by neutrinos

average energy of about 0.84MeV carried out by neutrinos in the H(p, e
+νe)D reactions

As seen in the cases of Pd and Ni in Table II, the powers released in the D-D fusion
are bigger than those in the respective H-H fusion by a factor over one billion.

However as argued in Section.9, even in a Li permeated metal hydrides
with neither deuteride nor D2 gas, the D-D fusion takes place and generates
neutrons, protons, tritons and 3He ions of a few MeV energies. Neutrons are captured by
6Li after slowing down and produce tritons and α-particles.
