Sonofusion – Fact or Fiction?

چکیده
Sonoluminescence and Sonofusion phenomena may occur when vapor bubbles implode. This paper reviews the status of our understanding of the bubble dynamics involved in these interesting phenomena. In particular, the experimental and analytical evidence supporting the observed production of neutrons and tritium due to thermonuclear fusion within imploding bubble clusters is reviewed. Moreover, potential methods to scale-up the neutron yield and some potential applications of this exciting new technology are discussed.
