Title : Universal mechanism of catalysis of low-temperature nuclear fusion
Abstract:
The report proposes an interpretation of the observed low - temperature nuclear reactions based on a model that generalizes the muon catalysis variant. In the generalized model, the catalytic functions of the muon are performed by CRN - activators, which are ring orbits with N compact massive electron (ee) - pairs [1, 2]. The spins in (ee) - pairs are opposite, and the attraction is due to the contact interaction [3], which dominates on the scales (10-14 - 10-15) m. The pair rotates and has an angular momentum ?. It is assumed that the bombardment of substances by a stream of electrons (or current discharges in a matter) is accompanied by an increase in the number of (ee) - pairs, and with a sufficient amount N of (ee) - pairs, CRN-activators are formed. We emphasize that the CRN - activator, located between nuclei, ensure that the nuclei come together to a critical distance, which is necessary for the exchange of mesons between nuclei to begin [4]. In addition the synthesis reactions of massive nuclei also require the absorption of (ee) - pairs, which ensures the fulfillment of the law of conservation of electric charge and the condition of reaction exothermicity. Preliminary enrichment of the electron shells (occupying deep circumnuclear orbitals) of interacting atoms with massive (ee) - pairs facilitates the synthesis reactions. It is clear that for the addition of a hydrogen nucleus, the participation of CR1 - activator or a quasi-neutron [5], is sufficient. It is important that the synthesis of massive nuclei can proceed autocatalytically in several stages, when the formation of a new nucleus with a large charge and mass is accompanied by the synthesis of CRN-activators with an increased N value [6]. It is also important to emphasize that the capture of (ee) - pairs by electron shells modifies the chemical properties of atoms, opening a new direction in materials science. The existence of modified atoms is supported by mass spectroscopy data.
