Influence of crystal structures on electron screening
EPJ Web of Conferences 275, 01007 (2023)
I don't know if I've misread this paper, but I can't see anything about running control experiments by bombarding equivalent foils that have not been loaded with D, or by using foils loaded with 1H.
How do they know that the 20F hasn't simply stolen a spallation neutron from one of the metal atoms?

The experiment activities described above represent different efforts to collect appropriate
information in order to find a valid focus to make progress towards LENR. It should be remarked that
our knowledge about the mechanism behind LENR is still rudimentary. Some experimental progresses
have been claimed in the past, but rigorous attempts to replicate those experiments have not been
successful to the extent that general acceptance has been achieved. Accordingly, one has to have an
open attitude as to which experimental approach might lead to a breakthrough in our understanding.
The experiments presented in this report all encompass loading of different fuels with hydrogen or
deuteron gas and then heat the reactor system in steps up to about 900 degrees. The general idea is
that the hydrogen or deuteron stored in the fuel structure might come at a sufficiently close distance
in order to be inside the range of strong interaction. Then exothermic reactions of the type e.g.
p+d→3He+e-/ or d+d→3He+n, d+d→3H+p or d+d→4He+e-e+ might occur. Those reactions are of
course severely hindered by the Coulomb repulsion, but there is a hope that electron screening
prevailing at low energies can enhance the tunneling effect through the Coulomb barrier. The
experiments are therefore conducted with different fuels having different structure for
hydrogen/deuteron storage. Also, the preparation of the fuel as to removal of any unwanted oxides or
carbonates are tried. Other parameters varied are gas pressure and temperature variations. A healthy
variation in the experimental arrangements is found among the WP3 activities. The existence of extra
heat coming from the fuel is being monitored by different arrays of thermocouples. In one case a
calorimeter based on water circulation is also used. Several apparatuses have a sensitivity down to 1
Watt excess power, with the exception of the water calorimeter which is sensitive down to about 10
Watt. Of course, a future heat generator based on LENR should provide power much higher than a few
Watts, but a starting point even a confirmed less power would be helpful to guide further
development. With all respect for the present achievements in the different WP3 experiments it is
nevertheless very important to consolidate those results with replications so they can stand on solid
ground.
Despite some successes, none of the experiments carried out can yet be singled out as more
satisfactory than the others. Further experimental work is necessary to find the best approach. Such
work is obviously ongoing with full vigor. What certainly could be an interesting extension in the
experiments is to find means to stimulate the fuel to ignite. This is tried in one experiment so far
(FutureOn), and more work of this kind is needed

Haven’t seen it before, AFAIK, so thanks!
Update 20230728
Ten reports written by Politecnico di Torino researchers (group lead by prof. Alberto Carpinteri) are published in the Downloads / Scientific Reports section of our website. These newly published reports are marked as “Politecnico di Torino report”.
These reports present years of experimental results, as well as new theoretic results.
These reports contain overwhelming evidence of transmutations during the fracture of brittle materials. Such transmutations are correlated with the presence of high frequency (THz range) phonons, and are accompanied by low intensity neutron emission.
As a practical aspect, these results demonstrate the feasibility of neutron detection based earthquake warning.
The theoretic studies elaborate on the role of high-frequency phonons, and explore what the fission-like transmutation patterns reveal about nuclear structures.
These reports are a solid foundation for exploring the puzzling energy source behind the observed fission-like transmutations.

Checked the ICCF25 schedule, and I don't see Carpinteri giving a presentation on this.
Alberto Carpinteri is quite elderly, I suspect that he doesn't fancy the longish haul to Poland for the conference, also that he has less new work to show these days.
Alan, who is guy, his background, general ideas ?
Probably lnked wih Mauricio Magiorre who came from the same Uniersity ?

Possible, but they are almost 2 decades apart in age. If you want to know more about his work, I suggest you look here : - https://lenr-canr.org/wordpress/
Search for 'Carpinteri' and you get around 50 hits.
It's time to switch to the model of the planet Earth!

Yes, i retained interesting things linked whith my own conclusions and work 
I have known about Carpinteri’s work on Fracto emissions since around 2010, also the highly controversial academic troubles he had because of his work in this field. He was subject to a smear campaign, and also there was a paper published by his detractors to “debunk” his neutron emission detection work as a mere mechanical shock artifact causing the instruments to glitch.
His work on hydrodynamic cavitation has also caught my attention, among the latest batch of reports of the CleanHME project there’s one devoted entirely to their cavitation prototype based on water pumps.
His work on hydrodynamic cavitation
This (cavitation transmutation) was first time published in the 70-ties by Swiss researchers checking eroded, high pressure turbine blades (or better cups).
They could find transmuted iron etc..
Some months later a friendly nuclear power forced them to hide the paper... No problem some years later they sent us 100kg highly enriched (more or less bomb ready..) Uranium... There always is official science and the somewhat hidden one.

Rule 138
Aldo Patriciello (ID)
ARPA-E (USA) has funded eight research and demonstration projects[1] through a call for proposals with a budget of USD 10 million to select one or more promising avenues for further development.
A NASA document[2] confirmed the strength of the commitment of various Japanese business actors based on the LENR phenomenon and the ‘Japanese LENRs’ are mentioned as one of three possible solutions to climate issues.
In view of the above:
- 1.In light of the establishment of the EU’s CleanHME programme and the possibility that a new project on the proposed topics could have an impact – either as a new green energy technology or as a means of disposing of harmful waste with the production of useful materials – what action does the Commission intend to take in this regard?
- 2.In particular, will the new programme aim to obtain substantial and shared evidence of the existence and characteristics of the phenomenon, starting with the reproducibility and repeatability of the results and providing standardised programmes and materials so that knowledge can be compared and built on between the different groups active in the world?
- 3.Does the Commission intend to assess the creation of demonstrator prototypes with an appropriate Technology Readiness Level (e.g. TRL > 5)?
Submitted:31.1.2024
I read it as positive, expressed as questions:
4. Does the Commission wish to save the world as we know it?
