Candidate theories to explain the anomalous spectroscopic signatures of atomic H in molecular H2 crystals
Abstract
We analyze a number of proposed explanations for spectroscopic anomalies observed in atomic hydrogen defects embedded in a solid molecular hydrogen matrix. In particular, we critically evaluate the possibility that these anomalies are related to Bose-Einstein condensation (both global and local). For each proposed mechanism we discuss which aspects of the experiment can be explained, and make predictions for future experiments.
