Study of the Influence of Remote Undamped Temperature Waves on Nuclear Fusion

Abstract

The results of studying the influence of undamped thermal waves on the process of nuclear fusion in a remote target are presented. These waves form on the reverse side of a metal target, which is subjected to a water jet in the cavitation state, and are characterized by strictly defined frequencies (in air, under normal conditions, and at different humidities, the minimum frequency of such a wave is $${{\omega }_{0}} \approx 75{\kern 1pt} - {\kern 1pt} 85$$ MHz). It is shown that, the action of such waves on a remote sample of deuterated polycrystalline titanium (a “nuclear” target) generates alpha particles, the emission direction of which agrees with the target geometry and orientation.
