Initiation of nuclear reactions under laser irradiation of Au nanoparticles in the presence of Thorium aqua-ions A.V. Simakin and G.A. Shafeev The object of this post is to use this experiment to provide insights into the structure of the LENR reaction through a structural breakdown of the individual LENR mechanisms. Laser stimulation of gold nanoparticles is a standard nanoplasmonic research method. This method produces Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP). This method also does not generate metallic hydrogen as compared to the compression of hydrogen in cracks. The SPPs are formed in the spaces between the gold nanoparticles when the nanoparticles are close together and on the surfaces of standalone gold nanoparticles. The storage of high volumes of energy in electromagnetic knots called SPP has a major impact on the behavior of the LENR process. The SPPs reformat the laser light energy into a monopole magnetic bean that produces nuclear effects in the atoms in solution that surround the nanoparticles but these knots of mostly light energy also store the nuclear energy that come from the reactions produced by LENR. The results of this experiment show how the basic LENR reaction works and how the SPP operates within it. The experiment does produce x-ray and gamma radiation as a result of the Limited energy storage provided by the individual SPP. Gamma rays from thorium fission are downshifted inside the SPP through self-interference processes inherent in the long term energy storage process. The SPP stores the energy produced by the fission of thorium and gradually releases it primarily as X-rays with a lesser percentage of energy released as weak gamma rays. Even when the laser light is turned off, energy is released in decreasing amounts until all the stored energy is gone. No long term radioactive isotopes are produced by this reaction showing that the weak force is amplified stabilizing these resultant radioactive isotopes. In comparison with experiments producing metallic hydrogen, energy storage is much greater because a Bose condensate of SPPs is able to absorb giga electron volts of nuclear power. This increase storage capacity enables the production of mesons as the preferred format of the radiation generated by the energy release process. Because SPP condensate energy storage capacity is so large, no gamma radiation is released by the SPP condensate with almost all of the nuclear radiation preferably going into meson creation. Delayed production of mesons over days indicates a huge amount of nuclear energy storage capacity in the SPP condensate is available that is not present when only single SPPs manage nuclear energy release.
