He is showing the way ahead for all LENR research even though he tends (for academic reasons) to avoid being associated with cold fusion.
Holmlid does hot fusion not LENR. I told him he should do the same Rahman measurements of his UDH as Mills but why learn from others....
A new (Oct 2020) open-access paper from Leif Holmlid:

QuoteBackground: Large-scale fusion reactors using hydrogen isotopes as fuel are still under development at several places in the world. These types of fusion reactors use tritium as fuel for the T +D reaction. However, tritium is not a sustainable fuel to use, since it will require fission reactors for its production, and since it is a dangerous material due to its radioactivity. Thus, fusion relying on tritium fuel should be avoided, and at least two better methods for providing the nuclear energy needed in the world indeed exist already. The first experiments with sustained laser-driven fusion above break-even using deuterium as fuel were published already in 2015.
QuoteResults: The well-known muon-induced fusion (also called muon-catalyzed fusion) can use deuterium as fuel. With the recent development of a high intensity (patented) muon source, this method is technically and economically feasible today. The recently developed annihilation energy generation uses ordinary hydrogen as fuel.
QuoteConclusions: muon-induced fusion is able to directly replace most combustion-based power stations in the world, giving sustainable and environmentally harmless power (primarily heat), in this way eliminating most CO2 emissions of human energy generation origin. Annihilation-based power generation has the potential to replace almost all other uses of fossil fuels within a few decades, also in most mobile applications including spaceflight, where it is the only method which gives relativistic rocket propulsion.
Holmlid entered the ITER bashing crew now, too! 
And he also says that Sakharov’s initial and brilliant idea of developing hot fusion for space propulsion, can also be served by muon catalyzed fusion! So now ITER is really a white elephant in all fronts! (
A new (Oct 2020) open-access paper from Leif Holmlid:
Muon-catalyzed fusion and annihilation energy generation supersede non-sustainable T+D nuclear fusion
Interesting:
- More extensive studies on similar themes will soon bepublished by scientists in this field working in Oslo and Reykjavik.
- Annihilation energy generation. transfer to kinetic energy is not yet developed.
Big challenge to explore technology to harvest the annihilation energy. Room for new inventions!
A new (Oct 2020) open-access paper from Leif Holmlid:
Nothing new. Only now he confirms he sees 4-He/3-He but with weird clueless SM logic. But this still is the price for a publication.
He 4He/3He results are from 2014, but he used his own methods for detection.

QuoteHighlights
• Time-of-flight studies have been made of ejection of massive particles from laser-induced fusion in ultra-dense deuterium D(0). Ion peaks are observed with energies from 1.4 MeV u−1 down to 50 keV u−1.
• The ion peaks are interpreted as due to collisionally delayed 4He and 3He (initially with normal fusion energies) and to p and D scattered off the He ions.
• Collisions of 4He with D4 ultra-dense clusters are also observed.
• Thermal distributions of neutrons are found at temperatures of 80–600 MK, showing fusion temperature of the plasma.
I never understood the link between this strange guy with Lenr..
Also the famous esoteric concept of metal Hydrogen only found on Jupiter..
So many papers from him maybe a day a book... what else ?
The interest to make a lot of noise allows him to self financing..

UDH/UDD links with LENR. Not the muon catalyzed fusion part.

I doubt that Cydonia "never understood" the link with LENR, but just because there could be readers that honestly haven't:
The theory is that molecular hydrogen brought in contact with the commercially available catalysts used by Holmlid's group (Fe-K oxide styrene catalysts) dissociates into an excited atomic form. The excited atoms can cluster together and transition to a lower energy state in desorption from the catalysts, in an exothermic process. This low-energy state hydrogen may then spontaneously engage in nuclear reactions, producing more energy and nuclear products, or be excited for a larger energy release using external inputs (e.g. laser pulses). If the optional pulse-laser excitation is factored out, the overall catalytic process is similar to typical gas-loaded LENR experiments.
UDH is the most interesting and glossed over topic in LENR since I started diving deep into it. Dufour used gas loaded tubes and metal powders to. Now isn't that, Mills and Leif related research? Do you have to break/fuse nuclei in order for it to count as LENR? It's ok if it doesn't we may need a different category to open up H centric electroweak/beta pushing and EM mediated bond reaction category, intentionally avoiding intense nuclear shielding stuff. Superstition is what shrouds truth in "magic", if understood it's illuminating holy chemical science and shouldn't be frowned apon 😊. People are mad at breached tradition... a permanent thread should be opened for this catagory moving forward. More interested in binding H*/UDH with larger atoms in functional compounds, like ash oxides in regular fire, than further fusing it.
Must be a variable I don't understand yet.

Those energy densities shine bright and safer in outer space.
The paper was discussed about when it got published online months ago, here: RE: Experimental Instrument For Rydberg Matter Research (University of Iceland)
I think the 1300x efficiency is a best-case scenario for a single pulse, just taking into account the laser pulse energy into the vacuum chamber.

As far as I am aware of, this paper is going to take a while to get published.
Always the god Holmlid in which we must believe, this week COP 1300, next week COP 13000 , and 2 weeks next 130000, maybe Holmlid is italian too ?

No good
