Summary This paper shows that a pseudomesic molecule with two negative quasi-particles of few electron masses could give rise to cold fusion rates comparable with those recently observed. It is also shown that such a condition can be easily reached in Pd-D x , withx〉1 via an 1s-4d orbital hybridization. When these two bands are coupled, electrons involved in the Pd-D-D bonds could have effective mass as large as about 20m e. This result can explain the observed fusion rates in condensed matter.
