An Explanation of Low-energy Nuclear Reactions (Cold Fusion)
نویسنده
چکیده
A plausible nuclear-active-environment in which Low-energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) occurs is identified by ruling out various possibilities and by identifying an environment that is common to all successful methods. When this environment is combined with a plausible mechanism, many testable predictions result. These insights and proposals are offered to help clarify understanding of LENR and to suggest future studies. The common environment in which LENR occurs is proposed to be cracks of a critical size, followed by a resonance process that dissipates energy by X-ray emission based on a laser-like process. The LENR behavior has the potential to test the Standard Model of nuclear interaction. © 2012 ISCMNS. All rights reserved. ISSN 2227-3123

Early Contributions from Workers at Texas A&m University to (so-called) Low Energy Nuclear Reactions
Two phrases are used, in abbreviated form, to describe these reactions. One is “chemically assisted nuclear reactions” (CANA). Another is “Low energy nuclear reactions” (LENR). The latter may not be accurate. Thus, there is no reason to think that the reactions concerned take place with any but those described by nuclear physicists, though slightly modified by the interactions with the surround...
متن کاملHydrogen Embrittlement and Piezonuclear Reactions in Electrolysis Experiments
Several evidences of anomalous nuclear reactions occurring in condensed matter have been observed during electrolysis, solid fracture and liquid cavitation. Despite the great amount of experimental results coming from the so-called Cold Nuclear Fusion and Low Energy Nuclear Reaction research fields, the comprehension of these phenomena still remains unanswered. On the other hand, as reported by...
متن کاملAn Approach to Explaining Cold Fusion
Cold fusion or Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) is a process that results in various nuclear reactions involving all isotopes of hydrogen within what appear to be ordinary materials at ordinary temperatures. In general terms, the reactions can be described as fusion when two hydrogen isotopes combine to form a single product nuclei or as transmutation when one or more hydrogen isotope nuclei ...
متن کاملModeling nuclear fusion in dense plasmas using a cryogenic non-neutral plasma
An analogy between the nuclear reaction rate in a dense neutral plasma and the energy equipartition rate in a strongly magnetized non-neutral plasma is discussed. This analogy allows the first detailed measurements of plasma screening enhancements in the strong screening and pycnonuclear regimes. In strong magnetic fields and at low temperatures, cyclotron energy, like nuclear energy, is releas...
متن کاملCOLD FUSION: An Objective Assessment
Many people still believe that cold fusion is the result of bad science. In contrast, numerous laboratories in at least 10 countries have now claimed production of anomalous energy using a variety of methods, many of which are now reproducible. This energy is proposed to result from nuclear reactions initiated within a special periodic array of atoms at modest temperatures (energy). Evidence fo...
