Tsyganov (UA9 collaboration) University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Texas, USA http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/files/Cold%20nuclear%20fusion.pdf Direct Download 7 pages Abstract Recent accelerator experiments on fusion of various elements have clearly demonstrated that the effective cross-sections of these reactions depend on what material the target particle is placed in. In these experiments, there was a significant increase in the probability of interaction when target nuclei are imbedded in a conducting crystal or are a part of it. These experiments open a new perspective on the problem of so-called cold nuclear fusion. PACS.: 25.45 – deuterium induced reactions Submitted to Physics of Atomic Nuclei/Yadernaya Fizika in Russian This seems to me, an unqualified, careful scientific layman, to be reasonable, simple theory, citing recent experiments: "Recent experiments on fusion of elements on accelerators For atom-atom collisions the expression of the probability of penetration through a Coulomb barrier for bare nuclei should be modified, because atomic electrons screen the repulsion effect of nuclear charge. Such a modification for the isolated atom collisions has been performed in H.J. Assenbaum and others [6] using static Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The experimental results that shed further light on this problem were obtained in relatively recent works C. Rolfs [7] and K. Czerski [8]. Review of earlier studies on this subject is contained in the work of L. Bogdanova [9]. In these studies a somewhat unusual phenomenon was observed: the sub-barrier fusion cross sections of elements depend strongly on the physical state of the matter in which these processes are taking place. Figure 1 (left) shows the experimental data [8], demonstrating the dependence of the astrophysical factor S(E) for the fusion of elements of sub-threshold nuclear reaction on the aggregate state of the matter that contains the target nucleus 7Li. The same figure (right) presents similar data [7] for the DD reaction, when the target nucleus was embedded in a zirconium crystal. It must be noted that the physical nature of the phenomenon of increasing cross synthesis of elements in the case where this process occurs in the conductor crystal lattice is still not completely clear...." 7.

Tsyganov and Colleagues Update Understanding of Nuclear Physics April 26th, 2011 "The article discusses the mechanism of DD -> He-4 fusion and so-called nonradiative thermalization of the reaction in crystals," scientists in Dallas, United States report. "The dynamics of this process is considered. The assumption that the decay time of the compound nucleus depends on its excitation energy makes experiments in crystals compatible with the acceleration data," wrote E.N. Tsyganov and colleagues. The researchers concluded: "We consider the processes in the crystals that increase the intensity of DD fusion in comparison to the amorphous media, and the yield of the reaction is estimated."
