Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāMeasurements of emission from nuclear reaction products (neutrons and protons) have been carried out appearing in the deuterated structures of textured CVD diamond, palladium, titanium, and zirconium under irradiation with a beam of X rays using independent methods (neutron detector based on He-3 counters, Si surface-barrier semiconductor detectors and CR-39 track detector). The possibility of enhancement of both DD reaction and multi-particle deuterium fusion by the beam of X rays with energy ranging 20-30 keV in solid deuterated targets has been established. Analysis of X-ray fluorescence spectra of the target bombarded by beams of ions has revealed āadditionalā peaks, the occurrence of which cannot be related to any of the known elements, and requires separate study.
