Abstract

A surface‐reaction theory of cold and warm fusion involving a surface fusion mechanism, a hysteresis effect, and resonances is described for the results of excess heat generation, neutron production, and tritium production from electrolysis and gas/metal fusion experiments. Many of the reported results of excess heat and neutron production are explained by the surface‐reaction theory. It is argued that resonance enhancement of the deuterium fusion cross‐section at extremely low energies is required to describe the observed rates of tritium production and other anomalous nuclear effects. Based on the surface‐reaction theory, theoretical criteria and experiments conditions are described for improving the fusion rates and the reproducibility of electroylsis and gas/metal experiemnts. Several experimental measurements are proposed to test the surfare‐reaction theory.
