Abstract
The possibility of tight bound states in quantum mechanics has been often emphasized [1]. Two different mechanisms are proposed for their occurrence: strong magnetic interactions at small distances and creation of the “anti-Born-Oppenheimer” states, corresponding to rapid motion of the heavy particles around almost fixed electrons. The observed “excess heat” in cold fusion experiments could be explained by these new tightly bound states [1]. In the present paper both ideas are analyzed.
