Bloch-Sensitive Nuclides
ORAL
Abstract
Documented condensed matter nuclear science includes Fleischmann and Pons radiationless dd fusion reactions, Iwamura alpha-addition transmutations, and Oriani MeV particle showers. All require partitioned coherent matter in which fractions of each single ``wave like" particle are entangled\footnote{T. A. Chubb, ``Bloch Nuclides, Iwamura Transmutations, and Oriani Showers", ICCF11 Abstract}. If the work required to bring side-by-side deuterons into contact is somehow reduced enough, an energy-minimizing 2-body anti-correlation form of wave function replaces the "molecule" configuration, allowing cold fusion. In the Iwamura process, a second fusion step fuses 2 spin-zero $^4$He$^2$$^+$$_B$$_l$$_o$$_c$$_h$ ions to form $^8$Be$^4$$^+$$_B$$_l$$_o$$_c$$_h$. The nuclear ground state energy of the product nucleus is a function of the number of fragments into which it is partitioned. It is ``Bloch sensitive", i.e., its energy level is a function of N$_w$$_e$$_l$$_l$, the number of potential wells into which the $^8$Be$^4$$^+$$_B$$_l$$_o$$_c$$_h$ is partitioned. The dependence of energy on lattice parameter N$_w$$_e$$_l$$_l$ strongly couples nuclear and electromagnetic forces at the boundary of the coherently ordered volume, causing energy transfer to the lattice.
