Multibody fusion model to explain experimental results

Worldwide cold fusion experiments have given anomalous results with regard to levels of kilo-electron-volts per atom excess heat, He generation, level of emission of neutrons and tritons with a 10-4 to 10-7 neutron-to-triton yield ratio, and emission of high-energy charged particles, which cannot be explained by the known d+d fusion process. A previously proposed multibody deuteron fusion model in solids is elaborated further to explain these anamalous results. A transient dynamics in metal deuterides is proposed to generate close pairs and clusters of deuterons with time-dependent deep atomic potential inducing a strong screening effect on Coulomb barrier penetration. Very approximate numerical estimations of reaction rates for the competing 2D, 3D, and 4D fusion processes in PdDx and TiDx are obtained with high-levels. Decay channels of virtual compound states, i.e., 4He*, 5Li*, 6Li*, 7Be*, and 8Be* by 2D, H+2D, 3D, H+3D, and 4D fusions, are discussed in detail to know the nuclear products. Major generation of 4He by H+2D, 3D, H+3D, and 4D processes are concluded. Identification of particle types and their specific released kinetic energies is given to explain measured charged-particle spectra by deuteron beam inplantation experiments. 28 refs., 16 figs
