Physics in a Many-Centered Environment

Physics in a many-center environment was born as the electron physics of metals. Electrons moving from the electrolyte of a battery to anode metal become quasi-particles with a many-centers geometry\footnote{ T.A. Chubb, Infinite Energy, Issue 70, in press (2006)}$^,$\footnote{ T.A. Chubb, ``Many-Centers Nuclei,'' submitted to Infinite Energy} The Ion Band State Theory of cold fusion assumes that a fraction of the deuterons in PdD$_x$ reconfigure to a many-centers geometry\footnote{T.A. Chubb and S.R. Chubb, Fusion Technol.,20, 93 (1991)}. Many-center geometry seems to apply to deuteron populations in nano-metal crystals as studied by Arata and Zhang, to Bloch-sensitive nuclei created in Iwamura's permeation studies, to the metastable nuclei forming alpha shower flakes as discovered by Oriani and Fisher and reproducibly produced by P. Mosier-Boss.
