Description

A chamber filled with molecular hydrogen at 1 kbar pressure was exposed to braking γ-rays with a threshold energy of 10 MeV produced by an electron beam of 20-21 μA intensity during 14 h. The studies of the changes in the structure and element composition of the entrance window, manganin foil, and collector of reaction products are presented in paper [1]. This paper provides a discussion of the results of a study of the synthesized particles and different formations at the inner surfaces of the cut-in-half irradiation chamber (brass sleeve). The studies of the two largest synthesized structures observed after irradiation established the presence of light elements from carbon to calcium. As in [1], multiple lead particles of small size were observed and studied. The detected synthesized particles have a complex shape and composition. At both sides of the inner surfaces of the cut brass sleeve, thin-walled microtubes were observed, as in [1]. The new elements and structures are discussed on the basis of the upstream (fusion) and downstream (fission) models of nuclear reactions (see [1]).
