Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: Cu-Ni-Mn alloy wires, with improved submicrometric
surfaces, used as LENR device by new transparent, dissipation-type,
calorimeter
Keywords: excess heat, hydrogen, nickel
Abstract: Abstract -- Starting in February 2011, we studied the
feasibility of new Nickel based alloys that are able to absorb proper
amounts of Hydrogen (H2) and/or Deuterium (D2) and that have,
in principle, some possibility to generate anomalous thermal effects
at temperatures >100°C.
The interest in Ni comes in part because there is the possibility to use
H2 instead of expensive D2. Reports by F. Piantelli (since 1992), G.
Miley (about 1995), M. Patterson, F. Celani (since 2010) and, overall,
claims by A. Rossi and (later on) by Defkalion Company, could be
further investigated. Moreover, cross-comparison of results using
Hydrogen instead of Deuterium can be made and could help the
understanding of the phenomena involved (nuclear origin?) because
use of such isotopes.

Energy Nuclear Reactions LENR
Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: Surface Effect for Gas Loading Micrograin Palladium for Low
Energy Nuclear Reactions LENR
Keywords: Theory
Abstract: Generation of elements up to heaviest nuclei by LENR was
measured in 1995 where the basic proof is seen from the appearance of
the Maruhn-Greiner maximum similar to fission of uranium. From
plasma-gas loading of deuterium in palladium the value of Coulomb
screening of the deuterium in the host crystal was derived and later
confirmed by Czerski Huke et al.. Following the DDdistance of 2 pm,
results in deuteron clusters offering a hypothetical explanation of the
Maruhn-Greiner mechanism for LENR while inverted Rydberg states led to
similar 2 pm deuteron distances. The preference of surface mechanisms
for LENR is indicated by the screening process within the swimming
electron layer at the surface and may be recognized from the detailed
measurement of ultra-high density clusters in surface defects compared
with the earlier measured high density deuteron cluster in volume defects.

Keywords: neutron
Abstract: This paper reports a new result of anomalous neutron emission,

and uranium deuterium samples at room temperature. The number of neutron
in the large bursts was measured up to 2800 in less than 64-µs
interval. After accidental artifact noise and cosmic-ray source are
ruled out, we suggest that the anomalous cascade neutron bursts are
correlated with deuterium-loaded metals and probably is the result of
nuclear reaction occurring in the samples.

Short Title: Theoretical Analysis of Chemically Assisted Nuclear
Reactions (CANR) in Nanoparticles
Keywords: neutron, nanoparticles
Abstract: Many problems still exist in current reports of CANR. First of
all, the phenomena continue to be difficult to reproduce; secondly, some
data are difficult to evaluate because of possible measurement errors;
thirdly, some of the reported data can be explained by other chemical
and/or physical reactions; and, lastly, the mechanisms remain unknown.
Many theories on the mechanisms of CANR that seem to have generated
nuclear reactions in special metallic structures have been suggested.
These are nuclear fusion reactions involving hydrogen isotopes in the
metals. We consider the interaction of the localization of electrons and
charged particles within Nanoparticles. Hydrogen isotopes are changed
slightly with electrons near to nuclei, and calculation of the
probability of tunneling increases dramatically. This change is strongly
dependent on the potential between two hydrogen nuclei. As for the
reactive probability due to the tunnel effect, if the barrier potential
decreases 50%, the reaction probability increases by ten orders of
magnitude.

Short Title: It’s not Low Energy -- But it is Nuclear
Keywords: neutron, cr-39
Abstract: In this communication, CR-39 track results obtained as a
result of Pd/D co-deposition are discussed and criticisms of those
results are addressed. Implications of the CR-39 results with reports of
transmutation are explored.

Title: Quasi-stability theory: revealing various atomic breakups and
cold fusion
Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: Quasi-stability theory: revealing various atomic breakups
and cold fusion
Keywords: Theory
Abstract: The statistical fluid-dynamic theory, which synthetically
reveals various particle masses for hadrons, quarks, leptons, atoms,
biological molecules, liquid droplets of water, and living cells, also
clarifies the particle masses generated by the cold fusion. This is
possible because each flexible particle is commonly generated by breakup.

Title: Search for advanced simulation model of cascade vortices under
beneath the electrode surface
Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion

Short Title: Search for advanced simulation model of cascade vortices
under beneath the electrode surface
Keywords: Theory
Abstract: In the cold fusion experiment, there observed vortex patterns
on a thick Pd electrode surface during long-term electrolysis in 0.1M
LiOD. To understand the peculiar phenomenon, we have proposed N-cycle
model, which composed of four sequential processes including the fusion
(CF) reaction. In this study, a numerical simulation for the analysis of
the vortex patterns was performed elucidate the relation between the
vortex formation and Supposing that the hypothetical particles mass
evolved to CF reaction energy, two numerical simulations motion of the
hypothetical particles mass were performed: Cellular automata (CA) and
discretization method. of both simulations have shown generation of a
vortex cascade of vortices, which were identical to those obtained
experimentally. However, there still exist differences between the
experimental and theoretical patterns in and form. Then, it motivates us
to build a sophisticated model. On the other hand, Miesch performed the
numerical simulation of the convection structure in the solar convection
zone, where appearance of vortex was deduced from the helioseismic data.
The numerical simulation showed that the downflow was characterized by
the helicity reversal near base of the convection zone. Reviewing the
numerical calculation method and the restricted conditions inspired the
important term of helicity change under conservation, relaxation and
transportation across boundary.

Short Title: Numerical Simulation of Vortex and Cascade of Vortices
Appeared under Beneath the Sub-surface Layer
Keywords: Theory
Abstract: In the cold fusion experiment, there observed vortex patterns
on a thick Pd rod electrode surface during long-term electrolysis in
0.1M LiOD. To understand the peculiar phenomenon, we had proposed
N-cycle model, which is composed of four sequential processes including
the CF reaction. In this study, numerical simulation for the analysis of
the vortex patterns was performed to elucidate the relation between the
vortex formation and the CF reaction. Supposing that the hypothetical
particles mass evolved due to the CF reaction energy, we performed the
numerical simulation using discretization method for the analysis of 3D
motion of the hypothetical particles mass. The experimental results
showed that the ejected particles mass from one side to another in a
given rectangular box (simulate the sub-surface layer) exhibited a
helical trajectory as a function of magnetic field. The traces of the
ejected particles mass on another side composed vortex pattern. There
has been remained more accurate simulation to examine the structure of
the layer and the influence of the magnetic field.

Title: Basic Physics Model for PdH Thermodynamics
Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: Basic Physics Model for PdH Thermodynamics
Keywords: Theory
Abstract: We have explored a new model that posits a weak binding
between absorbed hydrogen atoms in PdH. We developed a model formulation
and found that a reasonable fit to experimental entropy and enthalpy is
possible. The model appears to provide a natural physical explanation of
observed entropy dependence on loading.
