Radiation Produced by Glow Discharge in Deuterium
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radiation produced by low-voltage discharge in a gas containing deuterium was measured using a Geiger counter located within the apparatus. This radiation was found to consist of energetic particles that were produced only when the voltage was above a critical value. In addition, the emission was very sensitive to the presence of oxygen in the gas. In the presence of the required conditions, emission occurred reliably with reaction rates in excess of 10 events/second.

Effects of Glow Discharge with Hydrogen Isotope Plasmas on Radioactivity of Uranium
Uranium foils were attached to the cathode of a glow discharge apparatus. A plasma of either hydrogen or deuterium ions was used to bombard the uranium. The rates of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation emissions were significantly greater for the bombarded uranium than for the original material.
متن کاملGamma Ray Detection and Surface Analysis on Palladium Electrode in DC Glow-like Discharge Experiment
We performed glow-like discharge experiments using deuterated palladium cathode in deuterium atmosphere to investigate the possibility of inducing low-energy nuclear reaction. Anomalous gamma ray emissions in the 80 230keV region were sometimes observed. It was assumed that a nuclear reaction took place during the experiment, producing short-lived radioisotopes, and these radioisotopes emitted ...
متن کاملIntense Non-linear Soft X-ray Emission from a Hydride Target during Pulsed D Bombardment
Radiation emission from Low Energy Nuclear Radiation (LENR) electrodes (both charged-particle and x-rays) represents an important feature of LENR in general. Here, calibration, measurement techniques, and soft x-ray emission results from deuterium bombardment of a Pd target (cathode) placed in a pulsed deuterium glow discharge (PGD) are described. An x-ray intensity of 13.4 mW/cm and a dose of ...
متن کاملExperimental Observation of the New Elements Production in the Deuterated And/or Hydride Palladium Electrodes, Exposed to the Low Energy Dc
Elemental and isotopic structures of the palladium cathode before and after experiment under DC glow discharge were investigated by time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). Production of new elements with various atomic masses and impurities increase were surveyed. By analyzing obtained results, it was found that beryllium and nickel for deuterium-palladium system, and lithium...
متن کاملStrong Enhancement of Dd-reaction Accompanied by X-ray Generation in a Pulsed Low Voltage High-current Deuterium Glow Discharge with a Ti-cathode
Using noiseless solid-state CR-39 plastic track and Al2O3:C thermo-luminescent detectors, the yields of 3.0 MeV protons from DD-reaction and soft x-ray photons emitted from the cathode were studied in the periodic pulsing deuterium glow discharge with titanium cathodes at low discharge voltages (in the range 0.8–2.5 kV) and high current density (300–600 mA/cm2). The analysis of DD-proton yield ...
