Nuclear Transmutations

your presentation will be included in national meeting press materials that the Office of Communications distributes to hundreds of journalists. ” The abstract of this paper published by ACS as an official material has been revised by organizers of the Symposium and differs somewhat from original one as appears below. Present status of researches of the cold fusion phenomenon (CFP) with a lot of curious experimental facts inexplicable by conventional knowledge of nuclear physics could be characterized by a phenomenology. There are three kinds of CF materials where occurs the CFP; (1) transition-metal hydrides/deuterides, (2) some hydrocarbons, and (3) some biological bodies. In this paper, we present an extensive phenomenological investigation of the CFP occurring in these three kinds of materials from the point of view that the phenomenon is induced by essentially the same common causes to them. The most interesting common factor is the periodic array of the host nuclei interlaced with another periodic array of protons or deuterons. Using the TNCF and ND models, we investigate essential factors of the CFP common to the three kinds of CF materials thus giving keys to understand the nature of the curious and perplexing CFP
