Low energy nuclear reactions are of great importance for the future development of clean, save and very efficient energy sources. Hydrogen loaded metallic structures can play here a crucial role for the advantageous conditions in which the energy can be easily produced at room temperature during nuclear fusion. At very low energies, the electron screening effect causes an exponential like enhancement of the nuclear reaction cross section measured in atomic environments compared to the bare nuclei case.

This effect is theoretically well understood and experimentally observed in different fusion reactions occurring in gaseous, liquid and solid media. It could be shown that the main contribution to the screening energies describing reduction of the Coulomb barrier height results from quasi-free metallic electrons and their collective states which increase the effective electron mass. The latter effect depends not only on the environment but also on the atomic numbers of reacting nuclei.

Here, we would like to present new calculations considering the impact of electron screening effect on nuclear reaction rates for proton induced reactions on 6Li and 7Li isotopes in comparison with the deuteron fusion reaction rates in metallic media. These reactions are especially interesting for a low energy study because of their very high S-factors, increasing the probability of the reaction occurring at room temperature.

Furthermore, the reaction products are not radioactive, making it excellent candidates for a new energy source. Nuclear reactions in natural Li will be studied next in the accelerator-driven experiments in the Centre for Experimental Physics eLBRUS at the University of Szczecin in the frame of the CleanHME project*.

Updated No Internal Trolling Rules for FR per Jim Robinson

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3928396/posts

If someone says stop, then stop. Do not enter onto a thread on a topic you don’t like just to disrupt, rattle cages, poke sticks, insult the regulars, or engage in trolling activities, etc. ~Jim Robinson

The issue isn’t whether we allow skepticism, it is whether we allow hyperskeptics and skeptopaths to ruin the scientific dialog. Such FReepers who persist in polluting these threads have been asked to leave, and we are asking that they open their own threads if they have comments.

This topic has a following, people who wish to learn and discuss the materials presented.

Please refrain from posting anything that doesn’t legitimately address the issue.

Something is going on in this segment of science. There are a considerable number of research groups studying the matter.

Thanks Kevmo.

The paper first says reactions easily happens at room temperatures but then later specifies 700 degrees Celsius?

"The paper first says reactions easily happens at room temperatures but then later specifies 700 degrees Celsius?"

There is plenty of data that says that although LENR reactions occur at room temperature, the rates drastically increase with an increase in temperature...still at temperatures that the hot fusionists claim it is possible for ANY reaction to occur.
