New paper published In the World Scientific News, Over my head, but positive about LENR.
"The "renaissance" in Nuclear Physics, Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions and Transmutations"
CONCLUSIONS
Funding of LENR research should focus on the basic experimental science of isotopic
transmutation effects, regardless of their possible technological utility. Once the empirical data
are unambiguous, ab initio computational simulations should become possible.
We have developed the fcc lattice of nucleons as a model of nuclear structure, showing
that its numerical results concerning nuclear size, shape, density, etc. compare well with the
30+ other models of nuclear structure developed throughout the 20th century. To date, “nuclear
modeling” contributes little or nothing to the fundamental unresolved issue of the nature of the
nuclear force holding nuclei together. In the present work, we addressed the question of the
nuclear force acting between nucleons in a close-packed nuclear lattice. The validity of results
depends crucially on the three variables R, x, y. A center-to-center internucleon distance of
approximately 2.0 fm gives a core nuclear density of 0.17 nucleons/fm3, nuclear core density
normally cited in the textbooks since the electron-scattering experiments of Hofstadter in the
1950s (somewhat larger values (0.13 ~ 0.16) for the “mean” density (core plus skin region) are
also cited in the literature).
Similarly, the nucleon RMS radius for both protons and neutrons is known experimentally
to be ~ 0.88 fm. Nevertheless, the nuclear dipole that results in the magnetic moments of +2.79
and -1.91 μ, respectively, might have dimensions somewhat different from the matter
distribution within the nucleon, so that calculations of magnetic force effects over a broad range
of dipole sizes are relevant.
The followed way, with the novelty of the “particular use” of the Biot-Savart law, is
therefore a possible solution to the 80 years old problem of the nuclear force [11].
