- Hello Gentle Reader,
- here is the next lot. You will perhaps admire my straight face in the
- abstracts below (I do), in the face of strong provocation, you'll have to
- admit. The flavour of the month seems to be clumps of neutrons; three out of
- the four suggest them, either as dineutrons (Yang), quad-neutrons (Matsumoto)
- or even up to 1E09 in a bunch (Fisher). In all cases, the observed anomalies
- of cold fusion are thus explained, it seems. I was relieved by the Matsumoto,
- I must say: having previously read papers by him about gravity collapse and
- black holes, when I saw "formation of stars" - well what do you think I
- expected? But it's only star-shaped emulsion tracks. I note in the "To appear
- next month" page in the journal, Matsumoto also finds mesh-like traces, and I
- guess these are from that itonic mesh. The paper below has 6 references, by
- the way, all to the man himself. The fourth paper (Mizuno) should perhaps have
- been in the "peripheral" file, but I put it into the main one, because
- although it does not try to measure cold fusion, it has all the right
- references and is clearly a study of phenomena to do with cold fusion and
- motivated by it.

- "Polyneutrons as agents for cold nuclear reactions".
- ** This attempts to address the problem of anomalies in cold fusion, which
- clearly cannot be "normal" d-d fusion. Electrostatic repulsion demands that
- the new mechanism involves at least one neutral species; it cannot be a single
- neutron (not observed), so perhaps it is polyneutrons. This assumes the
- existence of a precursor super-heavy isotope (A)H (with A=6, for example) and
- the reaction n + (A)H --> (A)n + H, which is mildly exothermic. The poly-
- neutron (A)n could then enter a number of different reactions, including
- fusion and growth to a higher A value, up to 1E09. Much of this takes place in
- the electrolyte, involving lithium, so the role of the PdD phase is not clear
- here. This new physics opens up a rich new field of study. Jan-92/Dec-92

- "Observation of stars produced during cold fusion".
- ** M has searched for more features on nuclear emulsions held close to a cnf
- electrolysis at a thin Pd foil. His theory of quad-neutrons predicts various
- events. Multiple neutrons formed within the PdD matrix are covered with the
- itonic mesh. This slowly fades, but it might be so sticky that it will allow
- the multiple neutrons to react with the nuclei of the media, e.g. in the
- emulsion. One of the expected features is the formation of star-shaped
- tracks, and they were indeed found. Some of these have long tracks and some
- have short tracks, and they obviously are the result of cold fusion taking
- place in the cell. Jan-92/Dec-92

- "Diffusion rate of deuterium in Pd during cathodic charging".
- ** A more fundamental paper, on the absorption and release rates for deuterium
- during electrolysis at a Pd cathode in 0.5M LiOD. The Pd rod was degassed in
- vacuum at 200 degC for about 20 h. This abstractor infers that loading was
- measured by gas volumetry. At a charging current of 44 mA/cm**2, the rod was
- fully charged to a D/Pd ratio of close to 0.8 in 16 days; discharge
- (presumably by current reversal) led to a rapid initial decrease of this ratio
- to about 0.3, followed by a slower decline to zero over a 25-day period. From
- these experiments, the authors draw the conclusion that there exist phases
- within the metal with different diffusion coefficients for deuterium, i.e.
- 1E-06 cm**2/s in the alpha and beta phases, and and 1E-08 cm**2/s in a new
- hypothetical gamma phase. Dec-91/?

- "(2)(1)H-e touched capturing and (2)(1)H-(2)(0)N fusion".
- ** The above is an attempt to write in one line the symbols
- 2 2
- H and N , denoting deuterium and a dineutron, respectively.
- 1 0
- The author puts forward a theoretical model for the fusion of a deuteron and a
- dineutron produced by the capture of an electron by a deuteron. This would
- explain some of the anomalies of cold fusion, such as neutron bursts. The
- fusion leads to (3)He and a free neutron, plus energy; secondary processes
- would also take place, producing some tritium and beta and gamma emission. One
- of these secondary reactions is the absorption of neutrons, which would
- explain the anomaly of heat but few neutrons observed by FPH. Some interesting
- questions remain. May-91/Mar-92
