Abstract
Experiments have been carried out to study the anomalous passage of laboratory-produced ball lightning through solid-state sheets. The passing of the ball lightning within the standard model can be explained by cascading generation of particles at entering of high-energetic protons of the ball lightning into a dense matter. The process of energy conversion of its own poloidal magnetic field of the ball lightning into the kinetic energy of its charged particles occurs in this case. The energy of protons becomes sufficient for the generation of charged pions and their subsequent cascade decay. The decay of pions leads to the appearance of negative and positive muons, as well as muon antineutrino and muon neutrino. This fact is confirmed by the presence of a passed ball lightning and a high potential of variable polarity in the region above the solid-state sheet after the ball lightning passing through it. The dark ball lightning also found was in the experiments. The laboratory ball lightning opens up new perspectives in many areas of research and applications and may have a positive impact on attempts to solve the energy problem based on muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion.

In experiments on studying the passage of the ball lightning through glass, plastic and metals, the ball lightning obtained in the laboratory, which is quasi-neutral in whole, was used
Summary
A number of processes and phenomena in Nature, including a ball lightning, have not got received a correct explanation until now [1]-[8]. In the experiments it was revealed that when the ball lightning passes through the thin solid-state sheet, the luminosity maximum is located in the region approximately corresponding to the diameter of the outer spherical shell—see Figure 4(d). It should be noted that black ball lightnings were observed in experiments in absence of the solid-state sheets at a very low charge in the capacitive storage (Q = 0.25 C). The black ball lightnings obtained in the experiments with a small charge pass through the solid-state sheet (if it present) as well as the conventional ball lightnings, which were obtained with a charge in the capacitive energy storage equal to Q = 1 - 3 C. The existence of the black ball lightning is associated with a small value of its charge
