RE: [Vo]:Phys. Rev. C paper, "Nuclear fusion reactions in deuterated metals"
Terry- Regarding Nobel, there may be 3 or 4 - chemistry, physics and peace: and as Matts Lewin has noted, one in innovation or invention (e.a., a useful energy supply.)

(nom. 2 MeV) 2 mega electron volts is not low energy. Perhaps it was to say 2 mev.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.00694 This may be the preprint of the accepted paper since most of the authors of the accepted paper are the same people that appear in this preprint.

Hendricks (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Glenn Research Center), Nicholas Penney (Ohio Aerospace Institute), Annette M. Marsolais, Tracy R. Kamm (Vantage Partners, LLC) (Submitted on 3 Apr 2017) Exposure of highly deuterated materials to a low-energy (nom. 2 MeV) photon beam resulted in nuclear activity of both the parent metals of hafnium and erbium and a witness material (molybdenum) mixed with the reactants. Gamma spectral analysis of all deuterated materials, ErD2.8-C36D74-Mo and HfD2-C36D74-Mo, showed that nuclear processes had occurred as shown by unique gamma signatures. For the deuterated erbium specimens, posttest gamma spectra showed evidence of radioisotopes of erbium (163Er and 171Er) and of molybdenum (99Mo and 101Mo) and by beta decay, technetium (99mTc and 101Tc). For the deuterated hafnium specimens, posttest gamma spectra showed evidence of radioisotopes of hafnium (180mHf and 181Hf) and molybdenum (99Mo and 101Mo), and by beta decay, technetium (99mTc and 101Tc). In contrast, when either the hydrogenated or non-gas-loaded erbium or hafnium materials were exposed to the gamma flux, the gamma spectra revealed no new isotopes. Neutron activation materials showed evidence of thermal and epithermal neutrons. CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detectors showed evidence of fast neutrons with energies between 1.4 and 2.5 MeV and several instances of triple tracks, indicating greater than 10 MeV neutrons. Further study is required to determine the mechanism causing the nuclear activity The PDF as follows: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.00694 On Thu, Dec 19, 2019 at 3:43 PM Jed Rothwell wrote: > Abstract here: > > > https://journals.aps.org/prc/accepted/ff073P1eKf41950715597a86203c464d727b8de5b > >
Re: [Vo]:Phys. Rev. C paper, "Nuclear fusion reactions in deuterated metals"
Here is a curious detail from the paper. The paper favors the Oppenheimer-Phillips effect (so-called "neutron stripping"). But technically the OP effect is not "cold fusion" - so the paper could be mistitled. The OP effect resembles fission in a way. It could be called a type of "cold fission" more accurately than cold fusion. (the Wiki entry for cold fission is incomplete and poorly researched.) In the simplest terms for the layman (no fourth dimension required) the OP effect when implemented on dense deuterium in a lattice - would require lower energy input than then standard OP plasma effect - and then have its output in the form of something like the W-L "ultra low momentum neutron" (thus explaining why so few neutrons are detected) and this is arguably closer to experimental results than the usual "cold fusion" explanation. The above does not bail-out Park, who never had a clue, even though it does mean semantically that he was partly correct in that there is no need for "cold fusion" at all. Helium is expected following the W-L neutron activity - i.e. absorption of cold neuts by the matrix metal (palladium or nickel and especially by silver which is why "type A" works). Everything in cold fusion is explainable without the fusion of deuterons. - Terry Blanton wrote: It would be interesting to hear what Robert L.
