Abstract
Determining velocity distribution functions for ensembles is one of the most fundamental problems in statistical mechanics. In this paper, based on the results of computer molecular dynamics (MD) methods, we point out that the velocity distribution of low-mass classical particles subjected to a strong force field in a heavy atom environment is generally noncanonical. When the system reaches equilibrium, a non-Maxwellian distribution persists. The effective temperature of some of the low-mass particles may be one or two orders of magnitude greater than the average temperature of the system. “Cold” fusion may thus be enhanced by as much as 30–50 orders of magnitude over that calculated on the basis of 300K Maxwell distributions.
