In reply to Horace Heffner's message of Fri, 5 Feb 2010 15:00:10 -0900: Hi,
Neutron exchange reactions have been mentioned before, but perhaps proton exchange is also possible. In which case you might have been right the first time, since that reaction only requires the exchange (more accurately "passing") of a single proton from one 85Rb37 to the other. Your tunneling proton electron regime might then play a role here. I.e. an electron momentarily in the Rb nucleus could pair with a proton, and the neutral entity could then tunnel to the other nucleus, after which the electron is disposed of. Such a reaction mechanism would be less likely if three protons needed to pass to the other nucleus. >I wrote: "The reaction that would be triggered first, from paired >rubidium nuclei, would be: > 85Rb37 + 85Rb37 --> 86Sr38 + 84Kr36 + 2.620 MeV" > > >That was one of my typical clerical errors.
