Description
A weak emission of fast neutrons during the long-duration loading of a massive palladium cylinder with deuterons is observed. The experimental results are discussed in the frame of a plasma-like model of nuclear fusion in condensed matter, resulting in fusion rates per interacting pair of λddP1=(1.05±0.15)x10-44 s-1. This effect is also discussed relative to the behaviour of an other, similar cathode, which was charged simultaneously with the one described in this paper. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Waehrend der langandauernden Beladung eines massiven Palladium-Zylinders mit Deuteronen wird eine schwache Emission schneller Neutronen beobachtet. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse werden im Rahmen eines plasma-aehnlichen Modells der Kernfusion in kondensierter Materie diskutiert, woraus eine Plasmafusionsrate von λddP1=(1.05+0.15)x10-44 s-1 resultiert. Dieser Effekt wird auch relativ zum Verhalten einer anderen, aehnlichen Kathode diskutiert, welche gleichzeitig mit der in der vorliegenden Arbeit beschriebenen beladen wurde.
