After years of playing to packed houses, Cortes confirmed to Buenos Aires's Contratiempo [a monthly publication on flamenco and Spanish dance] that he's calling it quits, but he said, profoundly confident, that fusions wouldn't disappear with him.
But the researchers believe the evidence they have harvested points to deuterium-deuterium fusion. A sensor near the target has consistently detected the signature of such fusions -- fast-moving hydrogen atoms and tritium, an isotope of hydrogen containing one proton and two neutrons -- emerging with characteristics energies.
Hagelstein outlines a theory that he says could explain how pairs of deuterium nuclei can fuse inside the palladium metal lattice into highly excited helium nuclei without then either fragmenting or giving off high-energy gamma-rays -- the results of such fusions when they occur at superhigh temperatures in plasmas.
Particularly troubling is the indirect means they used for detecting neutrons of specific energies, an observation that physicists say would provide the strongest evidence for the occurrence of deuterium nuclei fusions. Also, the number of neutrons they claim to detect cannot explain the amount of heat they measure.
There are two main approaches to fusion. Inertial-confinement fusion uses pellets of solid fuel that receive blasts of laser light or accelerated particles to induce fusions in them.
Frank suggested that the subatomic particles called muons might be able to catalyze nuclear fusions, but it seemed at the time that the efficiency of the reaction, the number of fusions that an individual muon could accomplish, was too low to be practically interesting.
The effect of the impact will implode the target, and the implosion is expected to compress and heat the target to the point where nuclear fusions begin.
