Professor Li, Xing Zhong
Department of Physics, Tsinghua University Theoretical-Experimental Matches In response to your e-mail, I briefly summarize as follows:
Theoretical model:
- Selective resonant tunneling model was proposed in 1995 [1,2] in order to explain the Huizenga’s three puzzles: How is the Coulomb barrier penetrated? Why is there no commensurate neutron emission? Why is there no strong Gamma radiation?
- Selective resonant tunneling model predicted a long life-time resonance of D-D state in crystal lattice: Life-time ~ Flight-time/(Gamow factor)^1/2. Gamow factor is a very small number.
Verification-1:
- This long life-time implied the possibility of having 3-deuteron fusion reactions in low energy beam-target experiments.
- Professor Takahashi confirmed the 3-deuteron fusion reactions in 1997 [3]. Indeed Professor Kasagi first discovered 3-deuteron fusion reaction in 1993 [4].
Verification-2:
- Tritium is the product of 3-deuteron fusion reaction.
- Recently, Dr. T. Claytor of Los Alamos Lab. successfully produced tritium in glow-discharge tube [5] with pure deuterium gas.
Prediction-1:
- Dr. T. Claytor has been able to run his glow-discharge tube for several weeks. This implies the possibility of detecting neutrino in the future. [6]
