GENERATION OF ACCELERATED PARTICLES IN SOLID MATRICES SATURATED WITH ISOTOPES OF LIGHT NUCLEI

Abstract

Experimental results on the generation of accelerated particles in solid matrices saturated with isotopes of hydrogen under electric discharge are presented. Registration of accelerated particles was carried out by measuring the spectra of charged particles emitted by the target. The emission of α-particles with an energy yield of 10…14 MeV, the yield of protons with an energy in the range of 5.8…7.8 MeV, and the yield of neutrons with an energy in the range of 3…10 MeV were observed. These observations may indicate that the low energy nuclear reactions took place under investigated conditions.
