EPJ D Highlight - Characterising cold fusion in 2D models Published on 15 December 2020
Mapping the probability of fusion A new 2D modelling approach has been used to directly calculate how hydrogen nuclei fuse into helium after capturing muons
Progress towards ‘cold fusion,’ where nuclear fusion can occur at close to room temperatures, has now been at a standstill for decades. However, an increasing number of studies are now proposing that the reaction could be triggered more easily through a mechanism involving muons – elementary particles with the same charge as electrons, but with around 200 times their mass. Through a study published in EPJ D, researchers led by Francisco Caruso at the Brazilian Centre for Physical Research have shown theoretically how this process would unfold within 2D systems, without any need for approximations.
The team’s results could lead to long-awaited advances in the field of cold fusion – which has been proposed as an efficient, sustainable way to harvest vast amounts of energy. Since muons are so much heavier than electrons, they will orbit far closer to atomic nuclei when captured by hydrogen atoms. This enables the nuclei to fuse into helium far more readily – after which the muon is released from the system. However, since the amount of energy released is relatively small, it has remained challenging for theoretical physicists to propose a reliable basis for the technique, limiting its progress so far.
Caruso’s team took a different approach in their study: this time, focusing on calculating the elementary processes involved in muon-catalysed fusion in 2D. The researchers then compared the behaviour of their model with 3D measurements, which revealed that the 2D process is influenced by significantly different parameters. Most strikingly, they showed that fusion is 1 billion times more likely to occur between a muonic pair of tritium atoms – a form of hydrogen containing two extra neutrons in its nucleus – than is the case for 3D. By directly calculating these probabilities, instead of estimating them, the team’s findings could provide valuable insights for future studies of cold fusion.

Where do you get the muons?
pls add me to the cold fusion ping list. Tks
No kidding. Tritium already costs $30K per gram. By the time we get fusion working, it will burn more dollars per megawatt than even the Federal Reserve can print.
“Mesons decay into muons.”
wiki:
All mesons are unstable, with the longest-lived lasting for only a few hundredths of a microsecond. Heavier mesons decay to lighter mesons and ultimately to stable electrons, neutrinos and photons.
The BeaudetteCexcessheat .pdf link doesn’t seem to work.
“Most strikingly, they showed that fusion is 1 billion times more likely to occur between a muonic pair of tritium atoms – a form of hydrogen containing two extra neutrons in its nucleus “
If it has two extra neutrons, it is not tritium.
What is a muonic pair?
Thanks for the heads up. I think they took it down. After all ,Beaudette sells that book so it’s kinda like taking money from his pocket.
There are still excellent starting point articles at lenr-canr.org
Are you denying the existence of muon-catalyzed fusion? If someone finds a way to generate cheap and plentiful muons, this could be the pathway to affordable fusion.
This one does:

Sorry, I’ve forgotten how to post a hl. :D
“Are you denying the existence of muon-catalyzed fusion? “
Non Sequitur
Somewhat—a sample.
“the 2D process is influenced by significantly different parameters. “
3D modeling sound like the way to go forward.
Don’t we have supercomputers for doing research out side of “Climate” Models?
Tritium ha one extra neutron. He says he needs two extra neutrons!
Tritium already costs $30K per gram.

The way this stuff usually works is that once they get the thing perfected—then they bring in materials research supercomputers to figure out an atomic/molecular structure with similar characteristics to tritium that will do the job—but much cheaper.

Dream on. ...
You answer my post that points to H(0) state and respond with no indication you read it, just blithely pointing to a Wikipedia page in Yat another attempt to obfuscate and troll on a legitimate scientific inquiry thread, so I responded in kind.
Since you are here to troll, you are being asked to leave the thread, as per usual and as per Jimrob’s updated internal trolling guidelines. Feel free to post your own parallel thread as has been done in the past. Maybe even one of us might find the need to address your hostile questions.
