The energy distribution of cold fusion products is analyzed based on the Nattoh model. A new hydrogen-catalyzed fusion reaction is proposed to occur in a metal. From the differences in the Q value and other parameters, a new particle, the “iton,” is predicted to be emitted, with a rest mass 2 to 26 times that of an electron.
