Title : Fixation of atoms with increased masses, as a consequence of the existence of massive electron pairs - the basis of catalysis of low-temperature nuclear synthesis
Abstract:
The mass spectra of titanium, copper, tungsten and some of their oxides are presented. The metals mentioned were used as electrodes in electric discharges in water and air. The spectra were obtained using a time-of-flight spectrometer. In all cases, the measurement accuracy was no less than 10-3 amu. High measurement accuracy made it possible to distinguish synthesized aluminum from silicon hydride earlier [1]. In all mass spectra, along with the known peaks of all stable isotopes of the elements mentioned, additional satellite "small peaks" were found, the masses of which exceed the masses of the peaks by ?m~ 0.1 amu. These small peaks are identified with modified atoms of the corresponding isotopes having increased masses [2]. The reason for the increase in mass is considered to be the presence of compact massive electron (ee) - pairs with opposite spins in the shells of atoms, related by dipole - dipole magnetic interaction (on scales of the order of the Compton wavelength of an electron), or by contact interaction [3] (on hadron scales of the order of 10-14-10-15 m). The observed values of ?m ~ 0.1 amu correlate well with the expected estimates [2, 4]. It should be emphasized that the presence of massive electron pairs plays a key role in the processes of cold fusion of nuclei. In [2], the concept of a catalytic ring (CRN) was introduced – a set of N (ee) - pairs on a ring orbit. Localization of such activators between nuclei ensures the convergence of nuclei to critical distances sufficient to include the processes of nuclear exchange by π0 – mesons [5]. It is also important to note that atoms with massive (ee) - pairs should differ significantly in chemical properties from the original atoms [2, 4]. Based on the analysis of the spectra of metals and their oxides, the number of (ee) pairs in the shells of atoms is estimated [6].
