Observation of charged particle bursts from deuterium loaded thin titanium foils

  • 1. Department of Physics, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colorado 80401 (United States)

Description

Intense bursts of energetic charged particles from deuterium gas loaded thin foils of Ti 662 subject to fairly high D.C. electric currents and non-equilibrium thermal conditions have been observed. The energies of the particles range from less than 1 MeV to greater than 10 MeV. By observing energy shifts through thin foils of Al, the particles are tentatively identified as tritons, 3He, and possibly alpha particles. Control measurements carried out with comparably prepared Ti-H samples evinced no particle bursts
