ANALYSIS OF Zn AND EXCESS HEAT GENERATION IN Pd/H2 (D2) SYSTEM BY TNCF MODEL

摘要

Experimental data sets by X.Z. Li et al., showing generation of the excess heat and nuclear transmutation of Pd into Zn in Pd-D_2 gas and Pd-H_2 gas system are analyzed by the TNCF model. The mechanism generating Zn and the excess heat is assumed to be the n-_(46)~A Pd reaction followed by fission of thus formed compound nucleus _(46)~(A+1) Pd~* into Zn and S and the arbitrary parameter n_n of the model is determined by the value of the excess heat in the Pd-D_2 gas system to be ～10~(10) cm~(-3) consistently with values determined by the amount of Zn observed in the system, while the excess heat was not observed in Pd-H_2 gas system. Possible cause of this discrepancy is discussed.
