Spatial and Temporal Resolution of Three Sites Characterizing Lattice-Assisted Nuclear Reactions (LANR)

ORAL

Abstract

We present developing evidence that three different sites (physical locations in the solid state) are involved in lattice-assisted nuclear reactions (LANR). By expanding the equation first developed by Prof. David Nagel at ICCF-13\footnote{Nagel, D., ``Rates for LENRs at Surfaces'', ICCF-13}, we correlate observations of excess heat and de novo helium-4 production to three different physical locations and to the optimal operating points (OOPs) which are now known to characterize LANR systems\footnote{Swartz. M., G. Verner, ``Excess Heat from Low Electrical Conductivity Heavy Water Spiral-Wound Pd/D2O/Pt and Pd/D2O-PdCl2/Pt Devices'', ICCF-10 (Camb. MA), Proceedings of ICCF-10, (2003).}. This observation will be shown to be consistent with our previous reports of distinct time constants which characterize the tardive thermal power regime\footnote{Swartz. M., G. Verner, ``Dual Ohmic Controls Improve Understanding of `Heat after Death' '', Transactions American Nuclear Society, vol. 93, ISSN:0003-018X, 891-892 (2005)} (`heat after death'), which results after all input electrical power is terminated to an active LANR device.
