The Widom-Larsen theory is a theory developed by Dr. Axxxx Widom and Dr. Lxxxx Larsen which describes the production of ultra low momentum neutrons and subsequent catalysis of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR). The neutrons are hypothesized to be produced during weak interactions when protons capture "heavy" electrons in certain special conditions, such as metallic hydride surfaces.[1] The theory was expanded by Dr. Yogendra Srivastava, and additionally theorized as a possible explanation for neutrons observed in exploding wire experiments and thunderstorms.[2]

Neutron production in Thunderstorms:
The theory has been discussed as a theory to explain neutron production in thunderstorms,[2] however, unreal concentrations of free electrons would be needed for the e–(p+, n)νe neutron yield to be a significant component of thunderstorm neutrons.[3] https://link.springer.com/article/10.1134/S1063776114030017
