Overcoming the Coulomb Barrier in Cold Fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Schwinger pointed out that under some circumstances the Coulomb barrier between paired charged particles is replaced by a correlation factor in a two-body wave function. This paper shows how having two deuterons bound within a common volume having a multiplicity of potential wells can lead to an energy-minimized Schwinger form of wave equation with wave function overlap. Relevance to a situation in which a small number of deuterium atoms is forced into a fully loaded palladium deuteride (PdD) host is discussed. © 2009 ISCMNS. All rights reserved.

Quantum calculation of Coulomb reorientation and near-barrier fusion
We investigate the role of deformation on the fusion probability around the barrier using the Time-Dependent Hartree-Fock theory with a full Skyrme force. We obtain a distribution of fusion probabilities around the nominal barrier due to the different contributions of the various orientations of the deformed nucleus at the touching point. It is also shown that the long range Coulomb reorientati...
متن کاملDynamic Study on Fusion Reactions for Zr around Coulomb Barrier *
By using the updated improved Quantum Molecular Dynamics model in which a surface-symmetry potential term has been introduced for the first time, the excitation functions for fusion reactions of 40,48Ca+90,96Zr at energies around the Coulomb barrier have been studied. The experimental data of the fusion cross sections for 40Ca+90,96Zr have been reproduced remarkably well without introducing any...
متن کاملQuantum calculations of Coulomb reorientation for sub-barrier fusion.
Classical mechanics and time dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) calculations of heavy ions collisions are performed to study the rotation of a deformed nucleus in the Coulomb field of its partner. This reorientation is shown to be independent of the charges and relative energy of the partners. It only depends upon the deformations and inertias. TDHF calculations predict an increase by 30% of the ind...

Background Despite successful cloning of many mammalian species, the cloning efficiency is extremely low compared to that of IVF raising the possibility of the existence of epigenetic barrier preventing successful cloning. MaterialsAndMethods Using comparative transcriptome analysis comparing transcriptomes of IVF and SCNT embryos and that of donor cells, we identified epigenetic barrier and fi...
متن کاملElastic scattering and heavy residue production in the collisions 6 , 7 Li + 64 Zn around the Coulomb barrier
Elastic scattering angular distributions and heavy residue production cross sections have been measured at different energies around the Coulomb barrier for the systems Li+Zn. Optical model fits of the elastic angular distributions were performed using a renormalized double folding potential and absence of usual threshold anomaly in the optical potential was found. Excitation functions for heav...
