Nuclear reactions inside the Earth are forcing us to change our ideas about atoms, nuclei and nucleons

Key Points

The research aims to explore how nucleons transfer between atoms during nuclear reactions and the implications for atomic theory.
Presented experimental and theoretical evidence supporting the LENR hypothesis.
Investigated the transfer of nucleons between closely packed identical atoms.
Analyzed conditions for stability and energy conservation in nucleon transfer.
Confirmed that nucleons can be transferred between nuclei over distances larger than atomic size.
Demonstrated that this process aligns with theoretical frameworks of atomic structure.
Highlighted the role of stable nuclei in facilitating nucleon exchange.

Abstract

Experimental and theoretical evidence are presented supporting the 2004 hypothesis that LENR can occur between two identical, closely packed atoms. Several nucleons from the nucleus of one atom are transferred to the nucleus of another atom, provided that the resulting nuclei are stable and the law of conservation of energy is satisfied. This situation requires an explanation in accordance with existing concepts of the structure of atoms and nuclei. How can nucleons from one nucleus end up in another, having traveled a distance four orders of magnitude greater than the size of the nuclei? How does nature determine how many protons and neutrons should be moved from one nucleus to another?
