I have been attempting to improve my understanding of nuclear reactions and have reached some interesting conclusions. It has been known for many decades that the motion of a charged particle such as an electron or proton results in the emission of electromagnetic radiation. The smooth non accelerated movement of this type of particle does not cause radiation to be emitted. Only when the charge undergoes accelerated motion does energy spread out into open space. And, on occasions it is possible to have an accelerated charged particle that does not emit radiation if a proper structure exists that results in a balance by other particles. An example of the later is when a ring of charged particles such as electrons are rotating in a circle in a direct current fashion. Each individual electron would radiate energy as it is accelerated around the circle, but the contribution of the others results in a net balance of the radiated far field and we have a steady magnetic field. I believe that a similar process occurs in electron orbital shapes and field distributions which results in a steady state non radiative condition.
The Mills theory seems to build upon this basic concept and arrives at some interesting conclusions. Geometry and charge field motion might hold clues to LENR which we need to be open to. My main reason for this thread is to uncover the emission of energy by the charge neutral particles associated with nuclear reactions. At this point in my research I have been unsuccessful in locating a mechanism that allows neutrons and the like to emit energy associated with the binding of a nucleus. The only effect that I have observed thus far is through beta decay. In this case I refer to either beta plus or minus decay and the neutrino type associated with each. I am not aware of any reported radiated electromagnetic energy which usually occurs when a charged particle is accelerated. I do expect to see a minor amount of radiation due to the release of the positron or electron at the moment that the neutron transforms into a proton or vice versa during the process since this would likely result in the acceleration of the charges. The separation of the positive charge and the negative charge must show up in the far field as a pulse of radiated energy unless some form of magic field shape as suggested above occurs. The strong force only acts over a very tiny distance so it should not be capable of allowing binding energy to escape into free space. These conditions imply that there are most likely only two ways for binding energy to be freed during a nuclear reaction. The first is by electromagnetic radiation as in gamma rays and the second is by ejection of energetic particles such as neutrinos, protons, neutrons, electrons or etc. Perhaps the list should include very high energy reactions as those associated with accelerators but I am most interested in the processes that occur in normal environments such as LENR devices. Should the release of phonon energy just be considered another way of viewing the ejection of particles that are quickly retarded by the adjacent atoms? Also, is the coupling of entangled nearby protons just another type of electromagnetic interaction? I think that a process associated with this action might be the key reason that high energy gammas are not seen in LENR as the energy could be spread over a large number of protons instead of radiated. I have seen a remarkable difference in the behavior of near field versus far field electromagnetic devices. Near field effects can extend for a relatively long distance, but still not result in significant radiation of energy into free space. If anyone is aware of a mechanism that allows charge neutral particles to emit nuclear binding energy please direct me to the effect. Thanks in advance. Dave
