    It is well known that the presence of high and wide Coulomb barrier is the main obstacle to LENR. The method ofthe formation of coherent correlated state (CCS) with correlation coefficient1 r → of a particle, which can be used to giant increase of the transparency of this potential barrier from very small values 70 1000 D0 r10 ...10 -- --=[approximately] up to 2 11 0 1 r D D r r -- [right arrow] = [approximately] [right arrow] was considered in [1-3]. The uniqueness of this method is connected with the fact that the transparency of the barriers ("walls" of a potential well with a particle) and the probability of LENRcan be increased using a simple procedure of CCS formation: periodic modulation of the well width for the same barrier height 0 Lt L g t ( ) (1 cos ), =+ [omega]0 [omega] [omega] ( ) (1 cos ), t gt =+[omega]g | | x of "classical" oscillation and the momentum | | p of a particle) remain unchanged and small, while the correlation coefficient rapidly increases from r = 0 to r[right arrow]1; this corresponds to completely CCS (Fig.2,a,b,c). It was shown that for optimal condition g = -- ft ft S t t ()() 2 ( ) [delta] force f t( ) substantially affects the rate ofincrease of normalized amplitude of oscillations, as well as the absolute value of correlation coefficient with time, but does not affect the final value1 r [right arrow] and giant increase of the transparency D1 r[right arrow] [right arrow]1! These effects can be used for LENR optimization in real physical systems at action of damping and fluctuations

    The possible reasons of external X-ray radiation of LENR installations

    Abstract only.In numerous experimental LENR-related works were presented the results of investigation of hard electromagnetic radiation emitted from working chamber when palladium or nickel samples were exposed to deuterium and hydrogen. Such effects were observed regularly during electrolysis, gas discharge, thermocycling etc. Intensity of this radiation was uncorrelated with heat generation and isotope changes into working chamber. Moreover, this radiation was frequently registered in absolutely abnormal systems - e.g. behind the "black" screen (wall) which thickness much surpasses absorption mean free path of radiation. These abnormal results are similar to the results of investigation of external X-Ray radiation generated on outer surface of closed chamber at cavitation of liquid. In these works the radiation processes have been associated with a liquid (machine oil or water) jet moving through the narrow channel. It has been found during detailed investigation that the outer surface of the working chamber are sources of intense X radiation, generation of which is related to cavitation processes in the liquid jet bulk and subsequent excitation of internal shock waves. Interaction of these shock waves with external surface atoms of water jet, metal tube or thick screen leads to external X-Ray generation. The frequency (energy) of X-radiation depends on the types of atoms on a radiating surface (for a jet, it is water; for a channel, the metal atoms on the surface (e.g. Fe, Cu, Pb, etc) and increases with the increase of atoms charge

    Correlated states and nuclear reactions: An experimental test with low energy beams

    Get PDF
    An experimental program is described in this paper, aiming at detecting the formation of correlated coherent states (CCSs) in thin surface layers of crystals when bombarded by a very low energy proton or deuteron beam. CCSs are a generalization of ``nonclassical'' states of light, such as coherent and squeezed states, whose existence has been demonstrated long ago, giving rise to the remarkable development of quantum optics. In other fields, ranging from condensed matter physics to cosmology, such states have been intensively studied, but a clear signature of their existence is still lacking. This may be a clue to several unexplained phenomena, including the strong enhancement of nuclear fusion reaction rates in some crystal lattices, which have been reported on by several experiments and cannot be accounted for by electron screening only. Such an investigation is extremely relevant to nuclear astrophysics studies, few-body nucleon systems, and nucleon nucleon-interaction problems and, in particular, to energy-related nuclear fusion studies

    On the feasibility of a nuclear exciton laser

    Full text link
    Nuclear excitons known from M\"ossbauer spectroscopy describe coherent excitations of a large number of nuclei -- analogous to Dicke states (or Dicke super-radiance) in quantum optics. In this paper, we study the possibility of constructing a laser based on these coherent excitations. In contrast to the free electron laser (in its usual design), such a device would be based on stimulated emission and thus might offer certain advantages, e.g., regarding energy-momentum accuracy. Unfortunately, inserting realistic parameters, the window of operability is probably not open (yet) to present-day technology -- but our design should be feasible in the UV regime, for example.Comment: 7 pages RevTeX, 4 figure

    For slight relativistic electrons moving along the main charged [100] and [110] axes in the crystals of zinc blende there was made a numerical calculation of the transverse energy levels and corresponding wave functions. It was done the calculation and the comparison of quasi-characteristic radiation spectra for these axe

    Coherent Schwinger Interaction from Darboux Transformation

    Full text link
    The exactly solvable scalar-tensor potential of the four-component Dirac equation has been obtained by the Darboux transformation method. The constructed potential has been interpreted in terms of nucleon-nucleon and Schwinger interactions of neutral particles with lattice sites during their channeling Hamiltonians of a Schwinger type is obtained by means of the Darboux transformation chain. The analitic structure of the Lyapunov function of periodic continuation for each of the Hamiltonians of the family is considered.Comment: 12 pages, Latex, six figures; six sections, one figure adde

    Characterization of Bacillus strains of marine origin

    Get PDF
    A total of twenty aerobic endospore-forming bacilli, isolated from marine invertebrates and sea water of different areas of the Pacific Ocean, were taxonomically characterized. Most of the bacilli (11 strains) of marine origin belonged to the species Bacillus subtilis, according to their phenotypic characteristics, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, and fatty acids patterns. A group of four alkaliphilic strains formed a separate cluster that was tentatively classified as B. horti. One isolate, KMM 1717, associated with a sponge from the Coral Sea was identified as B. pumilus. Two strains, Bacillus KMM 1916 and KMM 1918, showed antibiotic sensitivity profiles similar to B. licheniformis, but they had a distinct fatty acid composition and peculiar phenotypic traits. The taxonomic affiliation of KMM 1810 and KMM 1763 remained unclear since their fatty acid composition and antibiotic sensitivity patterns were not resembled with none of these obtained for Bacillus strains

    Inertial mechanism: dynamical mass as a source of particle creation

    Full text link
    A kinetic theory of vacuum particle creation under the action of an inertial mechanism is constructed within a nonpertrubative dynamical approach. At the semi-phenomenological level, the inertial mechanism corresponds to quantum field theory with a time-dependent mass. At the microscopic level, such a dependence may be caused by different reasons: The non-stationary Higgs mechanism, the influence of a mean field or condensate, the presence of the conformal multiplier in the scalar-tensor gravitation theory etc. In what follows, a kinetic theory in the collisionless approximation is developed for scalar, spinor and massive vector fields in the framework of the oscillator representation, which is an effective tool for transition to the quasiparticle description and for derivation of non-Markovian kinetic equations. Properties of these equations and relevant observables (particle number and energy densities, pressure) are studied. The developed theory is applied here to describe the vacuum matter creation in conformal cosmological models and discuss the problem of the observed number density of photons in the cosmic microwave background radiation. As other example, the self-consistent evolution of scalar fields with non-monotonic self-interaction potentials (the W-potential and Witten - Di Vecchia - Veneziano model) is considered. In particular, conditions for appearance of tachyonic modes and a problem of the relevant definition of a vacuum state are considered.Comment: 51 pages, 18 figures, submitted to PEPAN (JINR, Dubna); v2: added reference
