I have been playing with the idea of a truly cold LENR reaction. It could help with Brillion type systems.
Surely "hot" and "cold" system in tandem would neutralization. perhaps there is a workable method of positron charge clusters annihilating electron clusters.
Positrons can make beautiful electric arcs, plasma is simply the next logical step.
Is positron plasma endothermic?
Here are a few results with key words "Positron Plasma" and "Cold Plasma", Unfortunately I can't find any research relating it to LENR (that's where you come in!).
Inward Transport and Compression of a Positron Plasma by a Rotating Electric Field:
these researchers had positron plasma that did produces some heat (however it was attributed to the rotating magnetic field).

Creation and uses of positron plasmas:
These researchers produce a 'warm' plasma. "Advances in positron trapping techniques have led to room‐temperature plasmas of 107 positrons with lifetimes of 103 s."

Positron Plasma Diagnostics and Temperature Control for Antihydrogen Production:
"mixing antiprotons with a cold, confined, positron plasma" I wonder how cold it can get.
https://journals.aps.org/prl/a…103/PhysRevLett.91.055001
New source of ultra-cold positron and electron beams:
"In the case of positron plasmas, a 40-mCi 22Na source provides a flux of fast positrons, which are slowed to an energy of about 2 eV by a solid Ne moderator [9]. The slow positrons are then guided magnetically into a multi-stage Penning trap, where they cool to room temperature by inelastic collisions with nitrogen buffer gas."https://www.sciencedirect.com/…abs/pii/S0168583X9700935X
My preliminary conclusion (biased on a few article introductions) is that positron plasmas are cooler than standard plasma. I am not as physicist, this is merely a curiosity, Thanks.
