“…A large mass concentrated in a subatom owing to adsorbed inertons is able to affect nuclear reactions overcoming the Coulomb barrier, in particular, the reactions of fission and fusion. In any case subatoms and nuclear pairs formed with the participation of subatoms imitate nuclear reactions in a way similar to that of usual neutrons [12][13][14][15]9]. We may assume that subatoms and nuclear pairs may stimulate nuclear transmutations.…”

“…Dufour and collaborators [11][12][13][14] state the occurrence of the cold fusion reaction by sparking in hydrogen isotopes, where hydrogen triggered exothermal reactions in uranium metal, which resulted in the discovery of a hydrex and deutrex that was considered as a non-proven metastable state of hydrogen and deuterium; the hydrex/deutrex has a nuclear size in the order of femtometers. In the experiments of the Dufour's group no gamma-quanta were measured at the formation of the hydrex/deutrex inside a solid (palladium or other material); the process of their formation was non-radioactive.…”

“…Thus, the relationship (15) indeed holds, which means that we in fact measured fluxes of {proton + heavy electron} pairs. Such {proton + heavy electron} pair can be named a subhydrogen, an additional term for the known hydrex [11][12][13][14][15], hydrino [16][17][18][19] and pseudoneutron [24]. Nevertheless, it seems the term subhydrogen is most appropriate as it indicates the subatomic size and properties of the {proton + heavy electron} pair.…”

We study both experimentally and theoretically the creation of a new physical entity, a particle in which the proton and electron form a stable pair with a tiny size typical for a nucleon. A new theoretical approach to study atomic, sub atomic and nuclear systems is suggested. In the framework of this new approach, which takes into account a submicroscopic concept of physics, we discuss similar experimental results of other researchers dealing with low energy nuclear reactions in a solid, plasma, sonofusion and the electrostatic field generated by piezocrystals. It is shown that the formation of sub atomic particles, which we name subatoms, involves an inerton cloud of an atom from the environment. The inerton cloud, as a carrier of mass, is absorbed by the electron and proton, which strongly couples these two particles in a new stable entity -the subhydrogen. Besides, we have generated a subhelium and argue the existence of subdeuterium. In addition to these subatoms there exist also nuclear pairs formed by a subatom with proton, deuteron and neutron.

“…They also used various experimental devices: -electrolysis (Fleishmann and Pons [1] and many others) -focused plasma (Vigier) -sparks (Dufour [7]) -plasma electrolysis (Mizuno [10], Naudin...) -current thru metals (Ouroutskoiev, Dufour [9,[11][12][13], Miley [14]...) -current thru proton conductors (Biberian) -hydrogen diffusion thru palladium -... According to most of these authors several "ingredients" or experimental conditions seems to be required for LENR to happen:…”
