Important theory paper by Yuri Ratis

Quote from magicsound

Thanks to a link posted by new member "ele" in another thread, I found a potentially important paper, just published by Russian nuclear theorist Yuri Ratis.

I have taken the liberty of posting a rough English translation of the pdf, at https://goo.gl/o1JqPu

Neutrons is a boson, ie, has a spin

Fermions have also spin, just half-integer one.

The weak interaction can lead to a temporary neutralization of the charge of the proton, and thus catalyze nuclear reactions at low energies.

Why not - but it doesn't explain, why the cold fusion isn't omnipresent. You cannot explain very special phenomena with mechanism, which could be applied to whatever atom nuclei possible.
BTW cold fusion runs even with normal hydrogen, which lacks the neutron.

Summary.

We have worked out the formalism for describing the electro-weak sub-atomic processes. Based on this formalism we show that an exo-atom "neutronic" is just an especially very narrow low lying resonance in
the elastic scattering of electron-protons based on the weak interaction that lead to the converting of the initial state of proton=electron in a quasi-bound neutron-neutrino pair.
Due to the very small breadth and amplitude this resonance cannot be observed in a direct experiment of e-p scattering.

For example Rossi claims, his Quark-X reactor runs with protium only.

Actually the Ni-H system is typical by the fact, that only protium participates on nuclear reaction (Focardi 1994, Campari 2000). It's explained by the 62Ni nuclide, which can selectivelly absorb proton under formation of 63Cu. A small percentage (2% to 3%) of deuterium will quench the reaction.

This is known from the very beginning of cold fusion research. When Krivit asked Piantelli whether he had ever tried using deuterium instead of normal hydrogen, Piantelli answered: yes - but if you put the deuterium inside a hydrogen-based experiment, it stops the reaction instantly. Piantelli has said that, if he uses just normal hydrogen with very high purity, which may have a trace amount of deuterium, it works fine. But if he injects even just 2 percent or 3 percent of deuterium with respect to the hydrogen, it stops the experiment, kills it.

Holmlid has never found an example of ultra dense hydrogen that consisted of a mixture of protium and deuterium. The UDH is either P(0), or D(0) and never DP(0).

Why not to add link to source? For me this fact is not interesting as such - but the method, in which Holmlid tested/deduced it.
It's rather difficult to imagine, how some dense mixture of isotopes could immediately separate itself after femtosecond laser pulse.

Storms has the opposite opinion, that deuterium is key to the reaction, and has discussed it in some detail in his publications.

I think Ed Storms's position is a little more complex. He thinks that p + e- + p can form deuterium, that d + e- + d can form helium (after the 4H decays), and that p + e- + d can form tritium (the last reaction I'm less sure of).

The theory of Brillouion Energy Corp. also considers gradual uptake of neutron with protium - so that deuterium must be also capable of nuclear reactions. But I also have no reason not to believe Piantelli. Such a result would also

fit my model of LENR with long-dimensional collisions: the Astroblaster effect with rigid balls will not apparently work well, if some of balls will be composed of pair of another ones (deuterium = protium + neutron).

The neutron of deuterium will break the symmetry of collisions, so it would inhibit the fusion of protium.

The harder problem for LENr theory is how to explains the release of energy by small quanta

It can be explained in both classical way, both quantum way. The long lines of colliding atom nuclei would redistribute and dissolve energy of cold fusion. The photons would propagate relatively slowly along such a dense material, so that the energy leveling effect will be even more pronounced. If for example one gamma ray photon will bounce the line of ten atom nuclei ten times back and forth like the standing wave within resonating rod, then its energy can be dissipated effectively between one hundred of atoms instead of just ten ones.

some fast fusion behavior may even be observed if the objects are disentangled

This would be cold fission not fusion...
