Quantum-tail effect in low energy d+d reaction in deuterated metals

Nuclear Theory 2011-01-04 v2

Abstract

The Bochum experimental enhancement of the d+d fusion rate in a deuterated metal matrix at low incident energies is explained by the quantum broadening of the momentum-energy dispersion relation and consequent modification of the high-momentum tail of the distribution function from an exponential to a power-law.
