    Fusion is a dish best served cold

    DECEMBER 10, 2020

    https://forbetterscience.com/2020/12/10/fusion-is-a-dish-best-served-cold/

    We are back in congratulating the EU Commission in investing €10 million into the research on Cold Fusion, this time Smut Clyde takes over.


    He will introduce you to several quacks and an occasional actual criminal, to complement the learned gentlemen of cold fusion “science” like the EU-funded Francesco Celani whom I introduced before. I am sure the expertise of these characters will be hotly appreciated by the academic partners of the two new FET research projects by the EU Commission (Hermes and CleanHME). Those are about reviving the 1989 discovery of Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, which was definitely never research fraud but Cold Fusion, or rather low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) or hydrogen–metal energy (HME), as it is called nowadays to avoid ridicule. I personally prefer the acronym “FuF” (pronounced fooff, from Italian “fusione fredda”), which was established by the mitica Sylvie Coyaud. FuF is truly the right way to describe these people.




  • So simple, a child could do it! Did you contact the author and mention this simple idea? One thing I am confused about. Since fiber optic are not electrical conductors, how can they become superconducting?

    It should be obvious that positive matter travelling backwards in time become pseudo or honorary tachyons, which appear to us as particle-free electrical current in our reference frame,

  • PFD,

    Not sure if it's a typo but,

    They are negative fermibosons

    you wrote simple fermibosons,

    There's a difference.

    No, I clearly stated "negative mass Bose-Eisenhower fermibosons".

    These bosons and their classical negative gravity are emergent from the local Figgs field.

    This is known as Figgs-Newton Gravitation.

    But thanks for the Peer Review. I am posting my theory on Research Gate and every peer review/full read is important. :)

  • Will CMNS research provide clues to better hot fusion targets?


    Most likely, yes.


    These folks are looking at, not just electron screening, they observe electrons participating in the actual nuclear reaction.

    Abstract

    Electron screening enhances nuclear reaction cross sections at low energies. We studied the nuclear reaction 1H(19F,αγ)16O in inverse kinematics in different solid hydrogen targets. Measured resonance strengths differed by up to a factor of 10 in different targets. We also studied the 2H(p,γ)3He fusion reaction and observed electrons emitted as reaction products instead of γ rays. In this case electron screening greatly enhances internal conversion probability.

    It can be hard to imagine what happens to common molecules under the extreme conditions on other planets. For example, Earthlings know water as an essential ingredient for life that exists as a solid, liquid and gas. However, scientists examining how water behaves under different conditions have identified about 20 different types of ice. The most recent addition to this list is “superionic ice,” which is thought to be the main form of ice on water-rich planets like Uranus and Neptune.


    A Solid and a Liquid

    Quote

    Superionic ice is unique because the oxygen atoms lock into place like a solid, but the hydrogen atoms give up their electrons to become positively charged ions that flow through the oxygen lattice like a fluid. Because the water molecules break apart — unlike other known types of ice — some scientists consider it a new state of matter rather than a new phase of water.

    "Tritium Measurements by Nuclear Reaction Analysis Using 3He Beam in the Energy Range Between 0.7 MeV and 5.1 MeV"

    Abstract

    A solid thick tritiated W sample was produced in order to probe the efficiency of detecting tritium via ³He ion beam using nuclear reactions analysis (NRA). Extensive literature search showed that there were only a few measurements done more than sixty years ago using the reaction with ³He. Their aim was mainly to measure the absolute cross section of the reaction. In order to use this reaction as an analysing tool for low level radioactive waste we need the differential cross section at certain angles. Using a thick tritiated W sample we measured the NRA signal in the ³He energy range from 0.7 MeV to 5.1 MeV and we have detected reaction products with energies between 6.5 MeV and 9.75 MeV that were not present on a deuterated W sample prepared in the same manner. This NRA signal proved to be due to deuterium and protons coming from the nuclear reaction between tritium and ³He. The detection signal increased with ³He energy up to 3.4 MeV and decreased with energy at the highest beam energies. At higher energies particles from W and target impurities start to disturb the measurement. Their origin might be due to other nuclear reactions, for example between ³He and W or ³He with ¹³C or ¹⁴N.

  • The origins of the high-energy cosmic neutrino flux remain largely unknown. Recently, one high-energy neutrino was associated with a tidal disruption event (TDE). Here we present AT2019fdr, an exceptionally luminous TDE candidate, coincident with another high-energy neutrino. Our observations, including a bright dust echo and soft late-time x-ray emission, further support a TDE origin of this flare. The probability of finding two such bright events by chance is just 0.034%. We evaluate several models for neutrino production and show that AT2019fdr is capable of producing the observed high-energy neutrino, reinforcing the case for TDEs as neutrino sources.

    What might low energy neutrons teach us?


    Among the known particles, the neutron takes a special position, as it provides experimental access to all four fundamental forces and a wide range of hypothetical interactions. Despite being unstable, free neutrons live long enough to be used as test particles in interferometric, spectroscopic, and scattering experiments probing low-energy scales.


    PhysicsForDummies


    As was already recognized in the 1970s, fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics can be tested in neutron interferometry using silicon perfect-single-crystals.


    Besides allowing for tests of uncertainty relations, Bell inequalities and alike, neutrons offer the opportunity to observe the effects of gravity and hypothetical dark forces acting on extended matter wave functions.


    Such tests gain importance in the light of recent discoveries of inconsistencies in our understanding of cosmology as well as the incompatibility between quantum mechanics and general relativity.


    Experiments with


    low-energy neutrons


    are thus indispensable tools for probing fundamental physics and represent a complementary approach to colliders.


    In this review we discuss the history and experimental methods used at this low-energy frontier of physics and collect bounds and limits on quantum mechanical relations and dark energy interactions.

    The neutron detection temperature, also called the neutron energy, indicates a free neutron's kinetic energy, usually given in electron volts. The term temperature is used, since hot, thermal and cold neutrons are moderated in a medium with a certain temperature. The neutron energy distribution is then adapted to the Maxwellian distribution known for thermal motion. Qualitatively, the higher the temperature, the higher the kinetic energy of the free neutrons. The momentum and wavelength of the neutron are related through the de Broglie relation. The large wavelength of slow neutrons allows for the large cross section.[1]

    How might we detect low energy neutrons?


    Even Dummies know how to study up.


    No?


    Absorptive reactions with prompt reactions - low energy neutrons are typically detected indirectly through absorption reactions. Typical absorber materials used have high cross sections for absorption of neutrons and include helium-3, lithium-6, boron-10, and uranium-235.

    Neutronium (sometimes shortened to neutrium,[1] also referred to as neutrite[2]) is a hypothetical substance composed purely of neutrons. The word was coined by scientist Andreas von Antropoff in 1926 (before the 1932 discovery of the neutron) for the hypothetical "element of atomic number zero" (with zero protons in its nucleus) that he placed at the head of the periodic table (denoted by dash, no element symbol).[3][4] However, the meaning of the term has changed over time, and from the last half of the 20th century onward it has been also used to refer to extremely dense substances resembling the neutron-degenerate matter theorized to exist in the cores of neutron stars; hereinafter "degenerate neutronium" will refer to this.

    What is the lowest energy neutron we can detect?


    The lowest neutron energy that can be measured by this detector, however, is 35 MeV, far above the neutron energies generated from many potential solar nucleosynthetic processes, for instance D-D, D-T and D-Li fusion reactions (Hoyle 1946, 1954).Jun 4, 2011
