“…The evidence which has been accumulated during the past two years has confirmed the initial observations that this is indeed possible and that the processes differ remarkably from the fusion paths of high-energy deuterons in the gas phase, e.g. see the reviews [10][11][12][13].…”

Summary. -We review some of the key facts in the phenomenology of Pdhydrides usually referred to as «cold fusion». We conclude that all theoretical attempts that concentrate only on few-body interactions, both electromagnetic and nuclear, are probably insufficient to explain such phenomena. On the other hand we find good indications that theories describing collective, coherent interactions among elementary constituents leading to macroscopic quantum-mechanical effects belong to the class of possible theories of those phenomena.PACS 12.20.Ds -Specific calculations and limits of quantum electrodynamics.PACS 52.55.Pi -Confinement in fusion experiments (including α-particle effects, scaling laws, etc.).Introduction.

New results for glow discharge in deuterium calorimetry are presented. In separate experiments a heat output five times exceeding the input electric power was observed. The result for the charged particle spectrum measurement is presented. Charged particles with energies up to 18 MeV and an average energy of 2-4 MeV were seen. Beams of gamma-rays with energies of about 200 keV and a characteristic X-ray radiation were registered. The summed energy of the registered products is three orders short of the values needed to explain the calorimetric results.

“…The phenomenon of low energy nuclear fusion (LENF) reactions, summarized in Refs. [2], [3], [4], and [5], is still doubted by most physicists due to the rather confused experimental situation. Recently, however, in a series of papers reproducible experimental evidence of LENF was reported [6].…”

Abstract. In a calculation of demonstrative type collective, laser-like behavior of low energy nuclear fusion reaction of deuterons in crystalline environment is investigated. It is found that the reported extra 4 He production can be appropriately described with a model well known in quantum electronics in which the quantized boson ( 4 He) field interacts with an ensemble of two-level systems in a crystal resonator. The estimated life times of the two levels indicate that population inversion may be achieved. Thresholds of the deuteron number of the sample and of the electric current density of the pumping electrolysis are estimated in the calculation by analyzing the gain parameter and some other characteristics of the process.
