“…For example, in the NiH experiments of the Piantelli group elemental anomalies are present consistent with the disintegration of Ni nuclei [67,108]. Elemental anomalies have been reported for years in electrochemical, gas loading, and glow discharge experiments [68][69][70][71][72][73]. Previously noted in papers on the fracture experiments are the anomalies reported by Urutskoev et al [74].…”

A variety of anomalies have been reported in recent years in fracture experiments, including neutron emission, elemental anomalies, and alpha emission. Such anomalies are similar to those studied in condensed matter nuclear science, which has been of interest to us in the development of theoretical models. In this work a brief review of the new theoretical approach is given, along with connections to both anomalies in fracture experiments and anomalies in other experiments. The fracture anomalies in this picture arise naturally as a result of the relevativistic interaction between vibrations and internal nuclear degrees of freedom, and up-conversion of vibrational quanta. A major conclusion of this work is that the elemental anomalies cannot be accounted for by disintegration as an incoherent process; since the observed products show a high degree of selectivity, while disintegration is very much non-selective. The possibility of disintegration as a coherent quantum process is introduced, and a suggestions for new experiments and measurements are put forth that can help to clarify underlying mechanisms.

“…The two basic effects, the phonon exchange induced attractive potentials and the SS-ICP, that helped to understand some essential features of condensed matter modified nuclear fusion reactions, are based on standard solid state physics ideas, and no "exotic" mechanisms were called in throughout the paper at all. Although our work was partly motivated by the papers of [1][2][3]6] and [7] some of the reported phenomena of which we seemed to able to explain, our results themselves may have general importance of their own right.…”

“…The experimental situation seemed rather controversial and the observations were considered contradictory to basic features of nuclear processes that are thought to be related to the effect [4,5]. Recently, however, in a sequence of experimental works [6,7] evidence of tracks of fast charged particles was found, that were emitted from nuclear fusion events in Pd/D during electrolysis and it seems experimentally proved [6] that alpha particles of energy between [11][12][13][14][15][16] MeV and protons of energy of 1.6 MeV were emitted from palladium chatode.…”

It is theoretically shown that an attractive effective potential is generated via optical phonon exchange between two quasi-free, different particles in deuterated Pd which, in turn, enhances the probability of their nuclear fusion reaction. Mechanisms, that may be responsible for extra heat production and nuclear isomer formation, are also discussed. Creation of 4 He pairs due to the significantly increased probability of the p + 7 Li → 2 4 He + 17.35 MeV and d + 6 Li → 2 4 He + 22.37 MeV nuclear reactions is predicted. Some of the basic questions of fusion reactions in solids seem to be successfully explained.

“…Besides heat, 12,13 the following nuclear emanations have been detected using Pd/D co-deposition over a twenty year period of research: X-ray emission, 14 tritium production, 15 transmutation, 16 and charged particle emission. 17,18 Using the sequential etching method described vide supra, 8 Lipson et al 19 reported on the observation of DD neutrons in CR-39 detectors used in Pd/D co-deposition experiments.…”

CR-39 detectors were exposed to DT neutrons generated by a Thermo Fisher model A290 neutron generator. Afterwards, the etched tracks were examined both optically and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The purpose of the analysis was to compare the two techniques and to determine whether additional information on track geometry could be obtained by SEM analysis. The use of these techniques to examine triple tracks, diagnostic of ≥9.6 MeV neutrons, observed in CR-39 used in Pd/D co-deposition experiments will also be discussed.
