Regarding transmutation.
It looks like the energy of impact produces EVOs as the release and conversion of kinetic energy to heat vaporizes metal and the heat activated nanoparticles generates the LENR reaction as they often do.

Alternatively, it is known that explosions can create MHD effects resulting in electrical discharges. Perhaps these 3-5 micron particles have an EVO wrapped around them, like the paper on a toffee? Which is a wild speculation, but it is Saturday after all.

With just a brief review of this thread, let me suggest (or reprise) that positive ions of various degrees of ionization could make considerable channels through solid substrates. Ionization by spark discharge and acceleration by electrostatic field--- fixed or more likely a pulse perhaps conjoined with the discharge itself. I only mention this so as to suggest a path to avoid unnecessarily exotic explanations.
By perhaps constructive parallel: Recall that a "plasma jet" or "plasma torch" [see for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric-pressure_plasma ] has a counter-propagated internal arc usually of more massive positive ions (but could even be protons or deuterons, with H or D as a working gas) that energetically exit the working end of the "jet" while the counter propagating electrons / negative ions terminate on the back positively charged electrode. More massive positive ions (say of helium or argon) are accelerated toward the negative electrode (proximal side of the plasma output end) and the positive ions largely pass on through said orifice with high momentum toward the working surface of choice. With suitable selection of working fluids and suitable target materials one might expect not only target melting or ablation, but at lower integrated energy fluxes, with high degrees of ionization, perhaps in situ production of radioisotopes and/or transmuted products within the target. In my opinion, such high ionization with low flux would be favored at higher field strengths (perhaps by RF, microwaves or coherent IR superimposed on the arc current), lower pressures and lower DC currents AND perhaps by appropriate target bias.
The plasma jet or beam could also be cyclically neutralized by alternating bias voltage on the target (if a conductor) or by a negatively charged electron beam "spraying" parallel and co-incident with the jet / beam if the target were non-conductive.

All excited metal based nanoparticles and microparticles are covered by Surface Plasmon Polaritons on their surface.
Plasmons are electromagnetic modes associated with the coherent excitation by photons of the free electrons at the interface between a metal and a dielectric material. They are extremely sensitive to the geometry of the metallic nanostructures on the surface of the particles.

If the threshold of the starting magnet field is above the LENR ignition point and addon matter like 7Li or 2H, H* is available, then a LENR distribution reaction may be ignited. In such a reaction the field increases until it is high enough to guide nucleon exchange. For this to happen it is important that the solid body axes (the grid) is center aligned with the impact zone and the initial nucleus can maintain the field long enough.
Many nuclei develop a large magnetic momentum, that is “long time” stable if one or two electrons are removed.
Thus the plasma is not entering the solid body. In reality the plasma is generated inside the solid body.

The low intensity magnetic fields produced by biological systems and the SmCo7 magnet dust used in the Cravens golden ball experiment speaks against any "LENR ignition point and addon matter". The magnetic field strength is directly associated with the probability of the occurrence of the LENR reaction even when that field strength is very low..
