A new preprint elaborating on a possible new, non-intuitive quantum theory of LENR -

Excerpt:
In low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), a new and problematic field that emerged after the notorious ”cold fusion” publication by Fleischmann and Pons in 1989 [3], results are reported that are in conflict with (1). Despite the fact that even the possibility of the phenomenon of nuclear fusion at low energies is received with due skepticism in mainstream physics [4] low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR) are dealt with in a great number of laboratories and publications (mostly experimental), conferences and periodicals have been devoted to various aspects of the problem. (For summary of the field see e.g. [5], [6], [7], [8].) The aim of this paper is to show the possible reason for anomalies of cross sections of nuclear reactions of particles of like charges at low energy in general.
