Distributed Bosonic States and Condensed Matter Fusion

Abstract

The article explains how it is possible for deuterons separated by macroscopic distances to interact in a nuclear fashion through the formation of a Bose Bloch Condensate (BBC) within a solid. Under suitable conditions, the formation of a BBC may lead to nuclear fusion and a variety of heretofore unobserved nuclear processes. The application of these ideas is used to explain the anomalous heating of Pd through the electrolysis of D2O and LiOD and conclude that only a small concentration of BBC deutrons is required. Various experiments associated with condensed matter fusion are suggested that may provide a test of our theory. Keywords: Condensed matter fusion.
